Recruit the Next Top Talent for NSL and KPL from the Grassroots Leagues.

#POV #YouthSpace

I would encourage the teams to adopt new ways of spotting and uplifting talent now that the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) transfer window has officially opened.

If I'm not mistaken, only a few top-tier teams from the NSL to the KPL host tryouts for scouting players. I also doubt if there's a scouting system in place, and if there's one, it isn't clear how it is done, and the scouts aren't noticeable within the ranks of the club. 

Anyway, in conjunction with what is best known to the clubs, I would encourage the coaches to spare time to follow the ongoing lower leagues to spot talents and, if possible, invite particular teams for friendly matches. 

Do we have quality players at the grassroots fit for the NSL and KPL leagues?

I know it can be argued that players from lower divisions lack the experience to play in top-tier leagues, but if we don't intentionally recruit a certain percentage to go up a level, when will they get the experience?  Secondly, even with exemplary performance, does a player need connections?

General Observation

I have noticed that the grassroots league hosts many talented players who don't know how to scale up to the next level or, in general, what they need to do to play for top-tier clubs. On the other hand, there's a great fanbase at the community level following the league matches that can support the development of grassroots football.

Here are some pictures from last Sunday's game featuring Mathare North Youth F.C vs. Mathare North United F.C in a FKF Nairobi County Regional League match.







Big Move 2023 -2024 KPL League.

As a community, we are happy for Kelly Madada to have signed with the AFC Leopards S.C in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL). It is evident that we have more talents that need to be exposed further. Given the chance, we hope to export more talents to the NSL and KPL next season.

SKILL UP; Unlock Your Potential To Become More.


#SelfMade Series 

Though most, if not all, of the youth have brilliant ideas that can improve society, I have identified three obstacles that they frequently encounter that apply to many areas of life.



In the Self-Made Series Module, where I train and share knowledge on self-awareness, personal branding, building winning teams, etc., I have noticed three main obstacles that cut across in the youth life, as follows;

1. How to Start 

One of the biggest hurdles, which seems simple, is locating the start button. We all have great ideas, but sometimes we find ourselves in circles of procrastination, not knowing what to do and waiting for the perfect time or moment. 

In this session, I help the participants reorganise their thoughts to a point that allows them to take one step forward, which means starting something even if it is small.

2. Know How It's Going 

There's a lot that is happening in our lives, which can be overwhelming to the extent of delaying something or not even noticing progress in anything. Many times, we confuse movement with progress. While movement can mean from one point to another, progress includes more especially the unseen or intangible parts of your actions.

3. Defining Where You Want to Be.

Define your landing point, have a runway, a takeoff point, the route, the destination, etc. You have to define all that in your journey through life to achieve your true definition of success.

Are you ready to learn more?

I present these and many other topics based on the Skill Up Module developed by Wilsen initiative (Wi) called the Self-Made and Work Series. 

I'm more than happy to share and learn more from the participants. Invite me to speak to your youth group about a variety of subjects, including project planning, creative entrepreneurship, basic budgeting, personal branding, and organisational culture.
