Skill Up Master Session - Mathare United Women's Football Team

 #SheCan #IaMaShero #SheLead #BeyondSports #BeyondFootball #FootballForHope

The Mathare United women's squad participated in a Skill Up Master Session I conducted at MYSA Headquarters on Tuesday, April 9, as part of their initiative to empower and mentor young women off the field. Currently competing in the Women's National Super League.

The Wilsen Initiative (Wi) and +throughMylens / consult are advocating for improved conditions for young people participating in sports. A portion of this advocacy involves mentoring and training young people, particularly in areas that will help them develop new skills, close the information gap, make educated decisions, and build careers in and out of sports, to name a few. 

Football hasn't been fully utilized in Kenya to benefit everyone in long-term terms, generally speaking. Players need to be aware of a number of unfinished business matters in order to launch a successful professional career.

'The Dark Tunnel In Football' In my research I found that;

1. A lot of football players are unaware of the requirements for pursuing a professional career in the sport.

2. The majority of teams simply place a high value on their collective success on the field, paying little regard to the well-being and personal growth of their players off the field. 

3. There are significant gaps in the way social media and the internet as a whole are used. 

4. A large number of players lack football profiles. 

5. There is a lack of experience sharing.

6. Many young people play football not because it is a lucrative sport, but rather because they are passionate about the game, have nothing else to do with their time, or harbor dreams of becoming celebrities one day.
