I'm Susan Asami, ko tizu wa kwa veri sapoti, like, ni kara fiki etu, if you have any problem, you just go to them, they will help you out. My name is Denis Sorek. I'm the head coach of Olympic High School. Call them the take graces and they also do, I also have a basketball program. Call it the little prince basketball academy. Kaming chuna Nairobi for further studies, Derek was first with an extremely different kind of environment that he had never anticipated see a hostel slan life. Will our hero survive? I was born and raised in Eldoret. So I went to Suseni Primary School in LD. High school I went to Sumoto High School. Just outside the Lino Tufa. Then college I came to Railway Training Institute in South B. So most of my childhood life I grew up in Eldoret. All the way to around probably when I was 17, 18 and then I came to Railway Training Institute. That's the now athletic transfer total to come and stay in Nairobi and in Kibera. So I stayed in Darajan. Darajan is not far from Olympic High School. So that's why I stayed with my mum. In Eldoret life was fun because of the village type of life. Lot of trees, lot of forest. It was great because my dad was a teacher so he lived in a school. So at least I go to play basketball, go to make a lot of friends and have fun. Lot of primary time I stayed with my aunt because of my family split. So I stayed with my aunt most of the time. So it was actually great learning. It was great learning from my dad and from my aunt different things. Getting life to learn much about life. And of course having to grow in that setup actually built me character wise because my aunt believed so much in kindness. In Eldoret life was simpler and it was easier. Compared to Nairobi having now to transfer and come and live in Nairobi Nairobi was a big challenge. So much in Eldoret you live in some sort of a small village. So you know all the neighbours around you are friendly to each other. You know every person you interact a lot. But coming to Nairobi it was more of it's your house. As much as in the slums there's that thing of there's that difference. It's not really open. It's not as open as it was in Eldoret. In Eldoret you live a life where if you have a problem you can always approach anybody within and will be helped. And it's like they have that openness. Even I can say punish you. If you make a mistake and a neighbour sees you it will be easier. That neighbour can punish you even before you get your parent. But then in Nairobi life was different because in Nairobi it was more of everybody wants to live their own life. So even if you make a mistake and your neighbour sees you they won't be really bothered. And again Nairobi was really challenging. Dealing with trust issues because you are told here you don't trust anyone. You have to be very careful. And of course coming from a place as a child where you live freely it's a free life you know you'll always be taken care of. But then you come to Nairobi and then the challenges are just immense. It's like the environment is not forgiving to a child. So it was really hard. And of course finding myself in the slum that made it even harder for me. Because now suddenly you are interacting in a different environment. Sometimes very hostile regardless of whether you are a grown up or a child. And so you have to actually put up all these challenges and try to figure your life around it. I started playing basketball when I was 12. And it was very much because my dad is a teacher, high school teacher. So he was transferred to a school, school capital girls. So that's where I learnt basketball. Because when I was 12 I started playing basketball. So I started playing basketball when I was 12. And it was very much because my dad is a teacher, high school teacher. So that's where I learnt basketball because when my dad was transferred I went to live with him. Not for a while, I think I hear. So when they had a basketball court, they had a basketball team. And the school had a basketball captain. She was a very nice girl. Her name was Karo. So Karo is the one who introduced me to basketball. Because I would go at four. Because it's a school set up by four, you're bored. And the basketball court was closed in the teachers' quarters. So I would go there. And there was a library. So I would go to the library, do some reading. And then because there was some nice story books. So at four when the library is closed so that guys can go to the court. I would just walk and just go there and watch. Because of course it was a new sport. I was used to football and suddenly there was a new sport. So I spent a lot of time just watching those girls train and play. And then Karo called me and told me why don't you come and try. Of course I was small then. But she taught me some of the first basics of basketball. And from there I just picked it. I think I liked it. And from there I just played. And then when I went back to stay with my aunt because now she was staying in the centre of the town. There were several courts and there were several teams. And there were kids. So I got now to play with kids my age. And for me I think the passion just picked from there. From then I never looked back. Part of primary school and then I went to high school. I played for the school team. I didn't play much in the college. Because by then I started focusing on I can coach. So to me it was more fun coaching than playing. I played for a club for I think two or three years. But then I think I was so much inclined into coaching. Because I really loved the fact that someone taught me basketball. And she was very nice. And so I loved it. I loved the fact that oh so you can teach this into someone and just get them to come to a place where they can play well. And so that basically is how I came into the sport. And then I completely turned into coaching. And it's been a great journey so far. But if you look at it from what I studied in HR coaching is HR throughout. Because you are managing people. You are managing situations around people. Issues around people. And of course since now also have a basketball program I get to manage it. So HR has played a good role. The soft spoken coach reveals to me what inspired him to be a warrior for youngsters and not a spectator of what ordinary people would refer to as let nature take its course and motivation. Little Prince Basketball Academy started in 2010. And it started out of something not really good because I think I was in a court and there were some kids playing. And then one of the people who was one of the guys who was playing actually slapped a kid and I really felt bad because this kid was there. It reminded me of the first time I went to a basketball court was because I was going to watch. Just stay there and watch. So this kid had come to watch. But because of an incident that I think was uncalled for I think the kid ended up being slapped. And so it made me realize that this kid had come here to play but there had no opportunity to play. Because the grownups are always there. And for as long as the grownups are there the kids were told to sit aside and just watch. So they had no opportunity to play. And so I thought, how about we begin a program for the kids. So where the kids can just have their time. If it's one hour or two hours, they just come and play. No, they are on time. They have fun with their age mates. And so that's how the program started. Started with I think four kids. That was back in 2010. And doing the math up to now I think so far we have worked with over 300 kids who have come through the program through primary. We've gone to high school and most of them are right now in the universities. Parents come to look for you and say how do you even do it? Because at home, most of these kids at home the parents have said you just live your life, the world will teach you. But then at the end of the day you don't forget, this is a kid. Probably it's 14, 15. So you still have time to actually. So by the time in the program you talk to them you take them through the program, you teach them discipline. By the time they are getting to 17, 18 you can really see their change, you can really talk to them and you can really reason with them which to me gives me a lot of fulfilment and the fact that they go through school they finish high school, they go to college and they actually get to do something meaningful with their life to me that's important.

And the program, most of the, since 2010, I think the program has been financed by either friends, well-wishers, people from the community. We have parents who have actually come out to actually support the program. And the community, one thing, the way I've known that community actually accepted the program is the fact that if a kid does something outside there, someone will come to you and say, coach, I saw your kid. He or she was doing this and this and this. And so when you get that sort of feedback, you know, okay, now the community understands what you are doing and the community is behind us. And that's how even the school where we train, the principal has always been supportive because he understands. So he says the schools should be opened. When the schools are closed, the kids literally stay there from morning eight to seven in the evening. And he's open to it. And even the community around the court, they actually come and ask, how can we help? So there are people who come out and say, I'll buy shoes for the kids. Actually, someone actually bought food during the April holiday, so a very long holiday. So he told us, how do these kids survive the whole day? And he said, you know, for this April holiday, I'll buy them lunch. Paching one life after another, clearly there is hope, not only physical, but even mental development to have an awful healthy holistic society. Running the program actually is a big challenge because of course it and basketball is really a very expensive sport. But we spend a lot of time actually looking for people to support. So we approach normally people who have played basketball, who understand basketball, who are our friends. So we look for most of them. We look for parents. We look for parents who actually can support. We've had, because we have kids, the good thing about sport is it brings people together. So we have kids from the slums, but we also have kids from the high end states who have joined. Because I think we have kids who come from as far as Karen and, you know, Livington who come to actually play and actually train these kids. So we have actually had to approach their parents who have been very positive, you know, supporting the program. We have also reached out to NGOs. We have organizations that actually are willing to support kids. And they actually come in strong to actually help and finance, especially buying basketballs. And, you know, some of them even build courts, which is something really big. So you have a nice facility. You get jazis, you get basketballs. And sometimes you go for games, people actually pay for those trips. We got to this court through one of the NGOs that we actually work closely. Because they were doing a girls only program. It's called the High of Hope. And so they approached us if you can help them run the program. And so we are open to it because their target was girls who are in high schools. And as I said before, getting parents to release girls to come and play was actually one of the biggest challenges we were facing. So suddenly we got someone who was doing the same thing we were doing and they were willing to go to the schools and actually get to reach out to these girls. So we were working with them. So we worked in Rail Educational Centre. That was the first school we worked. The program took off. It was really nice. It came up with some very nice kids who went all the way to the university. And then the next court they would build, actually, that's how we were here. So they came here. We started a program here. I think for the last four years we have had a basketball program here. The girls team, so the organization was supporting the girls team. And we are the ones who are actually managing the team and coaching them, giving our expertise. So the girls played all the way to East Africa, which was really interesting. Because these were the girls who have played basketball for three or four years. But they came into the high school competition, won the Nairobi Championship, went to the national fitness, they finished second. And they went all the way to the East African Championship, which was a big, a really big, big, something really big in the community. It's a big achievement. And because of that, people are actually impressed that this is a team that did not even have a basketball court. And they had to walk around three or so kilometers every day in the evening to come and train in our court. And then, of course, go back home. Despite all these challenges, they held on to go all the way to the African Championship. And so because of that, people are really impressed. And that's why someone actually decided to fundraise for them to have a court. And the rest, as we say, it's a beautiful history. They have a very nice facility, very nice basketball facility. The kids are enjoying themselves. It's a state of the art facility. Currently, we have 26 girls who are training here. We have some actually finished high school last year. So they joined the university, they moved on. So we have new kids. I think we have around 15 new girls who joined this year. So combined from some, from last year, we have around 26. Derek talks about discipline, advice and final remarks. Our biggest secret has always been to reach out to the person first. Because I know sometimes when people come, we want to train them to win. And then you forget that these are human beings. So you always say before she is a basketball player, she is a human being. So we reach out to the human side of her first so that she creates a relationship. So they understand, I'm not here to train, to win. I'm here to train to be a better person. So now they shift. They start focusing on building their character. And if you look at the team that last year went all the way to East Africa, it wasn't the best team, but they are the best character. They will really fight because now we had a relationship. You came to a point where they are playing knowing, I'm playing for myself, I'm better. My opponent may be probably coming from a better school, but I know, I believe in myself. So it becomes self-belief. And one of the things that we believe in, we believe in self-discipline. That's the first thing we teach them. Teach them self-discipline so that they understand. When you do something, because most of the kids, they come to school because if they stay home, probably they'll be punished. So they're doing it because I don't want to make my parent angry. When they come to school, they stay in class because if I'm out of class, I'll be punished. So there's always something they're trying to avoid. That's what they're doing, the right thing. So one of the things we teach them is that no, you have to do the right thing because it's the right thing and it will help you. So now that forms part of their character. Once that is in, it's easier to teach these other things. Because now when you're teaching them a skill, they are quick to learn that skill, not because the coach says it, but because they know this is going to be helpful to me. And that has been our secret. So it's easier to push them extra because when you want to push them extra, they will not complain because they know, oh, this is for me, let me do the extra. So before you know it, in a very short time, you have a very efficient team. As a maviya santi sana, to many of my teammates, what wengyo nitu lianza na ushule, si wengyo lima liiza, wengyo liji engage na witu zingine. But yeah, alikwa stick na basketball. So ilini kip sana from other things. My motivation is the fact that at some point I'm creating a platform where this kid will be independent. Because you don't want a situation where a kid is born in the slums, they grow up in the slums, they get a house close to their house because that happens. So they become neighbors to their parents. Before you know it, they are married as a neighbor to their parents. So their life is circled around the same community. And it happens a lot. So we want to get kids out. I want these kids to come to the program, play basketball, go to the universities, learn new things, get challenged to achieve bigger things so that they know that life is not all about being here. There's so much outside there. And when we went with the kids to Arusha, they were crossing border for the first time. Most of them are excited. Finally I'm out of the country. No, to them it does not matter whether it's Arusha or no, they're out of the country. When they come back, they don't want to stay in one place. They believe, I want to go out, I want to see other places. So to me, that is great motivation because having worked with this kid, they have a change of mentality and no, ah, okay, so there's much to life. And the future plan is actually to just reach more kids, get more kids on the program, get more kids to play, actually have a platform where now, even after they finish university and they move on their life, you can always bring them back as alumni to come and pick up others because it's always one person picking up the other. So that's what we've seen ourselves going forward. A piece of advice especially to coaches who work with the young kids. Let's not focus on winning. I know winning is nice, it's fun when you win and have medals and trophies, but let's not focus on winning. Let's not train them to win. Let's train them to do better people because once they are better people, once they have self-discipline, eventually they'll win because self-discipline has a way of pushing someone to reach out for the best and eventually they'll win. But if you focus on training them to win, then they end up being good players without discipline. They end up being good players without characters. No team will take them. No university will take them. No high school will take them. No club will take them. But if you teach them 12 the best characters, then they will attract people to just come and work with them. They may not be the best by then, but because of their character and self-discipline, someone will want to work with them because they see the potential of having a good citizen or a better person.
