The Humble Beginnings
Edwin's first day at Cheza Sports Academy was a scene of uncertainty. The young boy, barely able to control or pass a ball, stood nervously on the pitch, surrounded by peers who seemed light-years ahead in skill. But what Edwin lacked in ability, he more than made up for in determination. The coaches at Cheza Sports saw a spark in his eyes—a desire to learn and improve. A boy who came from the Mukuru slums and only wanted to be on the field the whole day.

Under the guidance of skilled coaches particularly Coach Dennis, Edwin's transformation began. The academy's philosophy is rooted in patience, persistence, and personal growth. Edwin attended every training session with an unmatched zeal. He practiced tirelessly, often staying back after regular sessions and coming earlier than his scheduled class to work on his ball control, passing, and dribbling. The boy who once struggled to kick a ball began to understand the game's nuances and his confidence grew with each passing day.
The Egyptian Dream
Edwin's big break came when he was selected to travel to Egypt as a mascot in the African Cup of Nation. The experience was a dream come true. Importantly, he was inspired by the stories of stars he saw who, like him, had overcome significant challenges to pursue their passion.
