We are extremely proud to play a role in the recruitment, training and mentoring of coaches across the Supernovas programme. Working with Anna Fedorchuk, Omar Yasser and their colleagues at InDrive is inspiring, and we are excited to see the images of the children having positive experiences of sport across the world
I am truly grateful for how far we have come in Supernovas. When we began our operations in Africa last September, we were active in 4 cities in Egypt (Assiut, Elminya, Kafr el-Sheikh, Kafr El-Zayat), 3 cities in Kenya (Mombasa, Kitale, Rusinga), and 2 cities in Ghana (Akim Oda and Elmina) with a dedicated team of 9 coaches and a total of 950 kids. Fast forward one year, and we have expanded significantly! We’ve opened 4 new cities in Egypt (Souhag, El Wadi El Gedid, Aswan, Luxor), 2 cities in Kenya (Kisumu, Eldoret), and launched 3 sections in our newly operating country, Morocco (Tetouan, Agadir, Tangier). This growth has allowed us to add 9 more coaches and welcome over 600 new kids into our programs. We now have a total of 18 coaches and 1,550 kids across Africa! I am incredibly thankful for this opportunity and proud of the impact we are making at Supernovas. Here’s to even more growth and success ahead! #Indrive #Supernovas #Invision #YouthDevelopment #CommunityImpact #Africa #Gratitude

COACH THE DREAM - In May, ICOACHKIDS Co-Founder, Sergio Lara-Bercial was invited to Nike's Coach the Dream event at their World Headquarters (WHQ) in Oregon, USA. Find out more about more about the event below: https://lnkd.in/eVkReNpH
We are out to lead a revolution in youth coaching — to inspire all kids to play and achieve their greatest potential. You could feel that energy in our recent “Coach the Dream” event at Nike’s World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, where coaching experts from around the world brought expertise, ideas and a ton of heart to help activate the future of youth sport coaching. “Coaching is Nike’s legacy and future,” says Vanessa Garcia-Brito, Nike’s VP, Chief Impact Officer, who helped lead the event. “We’ve been harnessing the power of great coaching for the last 50 years, and we believe there’s a coach in all of us. Time and time again, we’ve seen that while a good coach can change a game, a great coach can change a life. Through coaching, we can help make athletes’ dreams real. It’s a mindset that applies to our neighborhoods and communities, but starts with us at Nike.” Check out the video below to get a behind the scenes look at the event, and find out more about how we’re investing in great coaching and coaches: https://lnkd.in/gah42a-W #JustDoIt #CoachTheDream #SwooshLife
