So Nick and Sabrina right so how you been the experience in Kickstart and overall how you felt the entire Karnataka Bangalore football right because it’s been this is the fourth day for us now right so from the day one you have come here so how was your expectations and you know what you
Felt uh I think I think it’s been a bit of a whirlwind and I mean that in the nicest possible way so Whirlwind in terms of not just on the pitch but off the pitch I suppose interaction with us there’s been a lot of uh energy surrounding it uh and the
Partnership so I think Kickstart first and foremost such a brilliant organization that has grown and developed in a small space of time and is only going to go from strength to strength and uh the football experience so not just with Kickstart but particularly yesterday um you know out
In the wider community and working with the neighborhoods around uh the Bangalore area was a real uh humbling experience but also one that I think probably reflected football as a whole in in the in the region individuals or players that were a whole host of range
Ages um but all all epitomized the same same stuff so willing to learn incredible listeners um they wanted to they wanted to take on board every bit of information either myself or Sabrina shared just natural enthusiasm for the game that has been uh really spurred on by Kickstart and
Also the relationship with us and our presence here you know the support from from lley and Aussie um has just added even more value to to the whole experience I think it’s already a little bit like that yes people just love the game you can see how much it means to
People um and for myself and Sabrina it’s been just an absolute pleasure to to be around it great thank you so Sabrina I think uh coming from this you know like uh the club right I think the Tottenham itself is a big name and then finally like you know we know the kind
Of quality that you as a coaches are having and we could see that in last 4 days right and I could see that how every every player who you have been coaching now are enjoying so how when you see the talent which is there in Tottenham you’ve been coaching and the
Kids young kids out here and for that matter so how how do you see the difference what do you feel is lacking well we’ve coached a lot of kids in the last couple of days and mainly we we very focused on the technical side um
Back in the UK so we do a lot of like ball Leach stuff um and make sure that they work in both feet so we worked with a couple groups that they’re very dominant on just one foot so i’ would say probably need to work a bit more
Both feet um because that’s where I’ve identified as they’re they’re lacking in there um but again their willingness to learn is always there so I think with us coaches and who who’s coming out um to take this project um we’ll bring that from them as well so they’ve they’ve
Heard so much information from us and they’re taking it in straight away especially the group that we coached last last um evening every little bit I said um the detail they just took it in and went straight onto the pitch and did it um but definitely working both feet
Is where they need to work a bit more great how your overall experience in Kickstart so how do you feel like you know this uh this partnership and what what are you what is your vision for Kickstart now uh We’ve run out of words and superlatives I think what sums it up
Has been it’s it’s so I think the partnership speaks volumes about the values and the the the ethos and the ethics that both clubs share and have come together to to be of similar mind um since we’ve W through the door we felt like it’s been a family we’ve been
Introduced as part of the family you know I think that only going to go from strength to strength um the the stuff off the pitch my experience tells me the stuff on the pitch is the easy bit the stuff off the pitch is the hardest and
If you can nail that and get that right possibilities are endless and I think you know what I’ve seen with Kickstart is you guys have worked really hard to get that right um and you see that when you walk in the building when you’re at this venue or the residential whether
Having breakfast whether they’re just walking around whether they’re going to school you know all of those those all of those real um the real life bits are you know uh in a really good place that will just help the football flourish and and grow so I’ve got nothing but
Positive stuff to say and uh um we’ve thoroughly enjoyed our time great we would like to stay for longer if we could um thank you so much I think honestly for us this is like the dream come true moment right uh having a partnership with Tottenham and you know
The been able to dream that you know that our kids are going to get a lifetime experience itself is a huge thing for us and Nick and Sabrina personally I think uh my coaches my team have learned a lot from you that’s been the positive thing and that’s been the
Kind of you know the momentum that you people have brought you so thank you so much Nick and thank you so much much thank you for having us welcome
