✨⚽ Mental Health x Football Performance ⚽✨

This week I had the privilege of facilitating a Mental Health Awareness session with Eldoret FC, where we explored Self-Awareness through Johari’s Window — a tool that helps teams unlock trust, strengthen communication, and work together more effectively.

🧠 Mental well-being is just as important off the pitch as it is on it. During our Soka Timamu session, the players and technical team engaged in honest, open conversations that created a safe environment for growth. The energy was uplifting, the reflections were eye-opening, and the sense of unity was truly inspiring.

We’re proud to share that this spirit translated to the pitch as well — Eldoret FC clinched 2nd place 🥈 in the Tujiamini Cheza Dimba Talent Cup by SportPesa 🎉

💚 Special gratitude to our management, partners, and our “Mashujaa” players for their dedication to both mental wellness and performance. Together, we continue proving that strong minds build strong teams. 🙌

After taking a brief hiatus from the mental health field, I made a purposeful return by leading a Mental Health Check and routine wellness sessions with the .The engagement was both enriching and insightful, emphasizing the critical role of mental wellbeing in football. While physical fitness is vital, players thrive when their social, emotional, and spiritual wellness are equally nurtured.

Key focus areas identified for building a successful and resilient team included:

1. Self-awareness – Encouraging both players and management to understand their emotions, strengths, and limits fosters better decision-making and personal growth.

2. Open Communication – Maintaining constant, honest dialogue helps prevent misunderstandings and builds trust across the team.

3. Teamwork – In football, as in life, no one should walk alone. Unity, support, and shared purpose are the bedrock of performance.

4. Avoiding Assumptions – Assumptions can erode trust. Instead, we promote asking questions, giving feedback, and recognizing individual effort.

5. Holistic Wellbeing – Success stems from a foundation of mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. By aligning individual goals with collective purpose, we fuel both personal fulfillment and team excellence.

We coined the phrase Soka Timamu, a Swahili expression meaning "Sane Soccer" to embody the spirit of our mission: football that is driven by clarity of mind, emotional intelligence, and strong interpersonal connections.

Been a minute.

They say when life gives you Lemons, you make lemonade. Truth is, not everyone enjoys it. This past year taught me that sometimes the smell of the lemons is what will keep you going and on some days it's the sour nature of the lemons that will heal the wounds and keep them from being infected.

These lemons can be people, events or situations that we face in life. But the beauty that we have is how we choose to use the lemons we get.

I've learnt that sometimes Peace of mind comes through acceptance of the fact that you have done your best, you have grown mentally, emotionally and socially, you have gone through your struggles both successfully and unsuccessfully for some and all this translates to the persona you've built.

Hard days stop pressing you so hard when you treat them as dawns that give way to beautiful sunrises, long days remind you sunsets have a ray of hope, and dark nights remind you that the moon and stars will always light your path.

We have goals,dreams, needs, hopes, struggles, regrets, grief and pain, that only we can feel and express more like a needle prick in our most sensitive nerve ending.

But you got this. No one will do it for you coz it's your race to win. Sometimes we are hard pressed on the edge of a cliff to see if we can jump and grow wings to fly, fall down and break a bone, fall off and die out or survive the fall and come out of it victorious.

From me to you, this year, take the deep dive, be there for you, love you more, allow yourself to win and to lose, enjoy the times and seasons and forget about tomorrow for a moment.

This year, JUST LIVE LIFE 🧬, it's all we have to do. Don't overthink, don't overdo, don't overload your brains. Be you, you got this. 💕 🫂
