📍 Thursday, 23rd April 2026
📌 St. Paul’s Primary School, Nairobi County
👥 Team: Halisi Soccer Club
Today, I had the privilege of inspiring, connecting with, and educating players from Halisi Sports Halisi Soccer Club through our ongoing mission Wilsen Initiative (Wi) — empowering grassroots clubs by addressing both existing and emerging knowledge gaps that can impact player and club development.
The session brought together both the men’s and women’s teams, with a total of 50 players in attendance — a strong reflection of commitment and passion for growth.
This impactful session, organized by Halisi Sports Services in partnership with Halisi Soccer Club, focused on “Beyond the Game.”
Here are a few key highlights:
⚽ Understanding social media, building player profiles, and what truly makes a player excel
⚽ The football player lifecycle and how to navigate key transitions
⚽ Open discussion: The “dark tunnel” of Kenyan football — known vs unknown — and how players can strategically position themselves
⚽ Interactive activities promoting 21st-century skills: teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, innovation, time management, and communication
⚽ Moving from the comfort zone into the learning zone — and why it matters
⚽ Building confidence in public speaking and self-expression
⚽ Personal development: embracing your journey and building your personal brand — The “I AM” philosophy
Moments like these reinforce why this work matters. Sharing knowledge, insights, and personal experiences plays a vital role in shaping the next generation of footballers — both on and off the pitch.
Wishing all the pupils a successful second term as schools reopen next week. I look forward to continued engagement with grassroots clubs and nurturing future talent.
Remember: Dreams, hopes, and talent matter — but today’s game demands more. Players must be proactive, adaptable, and ready to evolve. Even when things don’t go as planned, there are always meaningful opportunities beyond football.
💬 “Talent alone is no longer enough to build a football career. Players must consistently perform, present themselves professionally, and make their abilities visible both on and off the pitch.”
— Wilson Masaka
