is also what credit the what does it take to become a champion on today's, the 77 percent will travel across the african continent to discover the secrets of people who excelled in sports. my name is, let's show and i'm super excited about today's program. if we're quite honest, so many of us have already ditched most of our new year's resolutions. remember how you wanted 2020 for it to be the year where you worked out more and only a healthy foods? well, today we'll look at what makes a champion, and i can tell you one thing,

people who, when metals in sports don't give up on their goals. now we asked you what it takes to reach the absolute summit of your sports. is it tell end grids or the spirit he has? what you told us kind of do you see that? he says there's no definite answer to your question. of course you have to be talented, have insurance, and on top of everything, you need a very strong fighting spirit. if you want to compete at the highest level. solomon calling back to it says it's a gift from god. and then we have gilbert here who, who says i will suggest that is support. when you get the support, the rest will be an additional priority for you and for your supporters. thank you very much for those messages will stay with support and look at why champions need a good mentor. so it takes more than just time to make a champion. we need someone to recognize that gift polish the rough diamond within,

and then promote as like a super fast. in other words, we need a mental experienced teachers, coaches or train is to guide us through thick and thin. at times we need someone to kick off the block training. sometimes we need a shoulder to cry out, or a had to pick us up. competitive support is full of challenges and not just when the match starts for the race begins. so we always need a mentor in our corner who fights with us no matter what. in the eastern democratic republic of congo, some young athletes come from. i need imaginatively difficult background. war and hardship have left the scar coach cable bundle runs of boxing school for youngsters to leave that trouble outside the ring. people mongo says every job and every hook is aimed at banishing the mentality of rebel soldiers to fancy footwork and power. for punches the young man looked to take back control of the distance from the

rings of boulevard to be sent in gum line. i wrestled boxing from the domain of maine, as she teaches young south african girls, self defense growing up and paid sounds informal settlements has taught. and south africa has the power of paying the high cases of gender based violence. but sadly, not all sports officials have the athletes best interest at heart. in kenya, sports corruption effects people like web style costs, and he was almost no loop you in a way to lift up i put all the apples like goods. but unfortunately, for example, who am i the direction which was supposed to be like, um, my link to the scholarship and the lympics as of really misappropriating the fundamental supposed to ask me for my supports administrators with jail to find for the best link funds. but the actions killed webster's dream. that's not the only

obstacle visa problems also stopped africans competing internationally for kenya's pioneer in kayak in king and samuel tory, even his passion, personal funds and stacks of paperwork have not always been enough to get him the visa to compete in europe and kayak and championships. we have to get lots of documents is uh like passports, because invitations latest our bank statements. uh, excuse me. okay. uh, record statements and all that stuff. i don't know why they do ask for all those documents. it's tough times like these way you need a mental or even a role model to help you through the bureaucratic society and mental hurdles of international competition. the to ok, get a mentor check. what else intends on? yeah, we have a saying that goes really held in requirement to finally translation. a body is not

built by briggs and yes, you guessed it will now look at nutrition. i know that champions are always very picky about what they need to weighing meal, taking tons of supplements, a protein shake here and there. so what does a champions body need to perform at the highest level? michael integration. what do you found? some surprising answers at the dw in house jim the now and getting read about food, but not just any kind of food, but the ones that is consumed by opulence and people who are hitting attention. whether you'll cycling or swing out in the fields or even pumping or road watching each can make or break to. and that's why i reach out to my colleague, judge or kaji, tells me more on the same thoughts. thanks for joining us today. and

so you can start by giving us this quote on the supplements theory, the the yeah, the effects of giving you this is up to producing assume the solomon's the last time. yeah. so, so long as the phone okay. and what's the big estimates in terms of nutrition wise and the gym? does do some food that's nothing. it's too. okay. and in terms of hydration, do you know me a device for people to cause a lot of what's all the time? or are you the kind of person who likes to just take you to step out of time, expecting to expect that change the

language piece. last question. let's talk about those to walk out to lunch. is when you go to the and see what's your recovery after what's due if she can hold broken or do you go for anything that you want that's on the table. you gave me a broken image. nutrition plays that's critical. that's to be fine. i guess it depends if we get both sides of the issue that was supposed to be there. thank you so much charge the thank you george and rachel,

and i'm sure it's shaped meal here and there is totally okay, right. so what we put in our bodies is immensely important. but once you've got the nutrition part down, it's time to do some actual work to put in the ours. perfect your skills. what does it take to build your physical and mental muscle? rachel, have some answers. you know, it was possible everybody is trying to be physical, you have to find you look so someone trying to exercise. and so basically you're trying to look like the fitness industry is booming and expected to grow by almost 10 percent in the coming years. and get this that are 639 muscles in our body. know tots, a lot of muscles to trade in uganda. johnson is a 40 builder. he started working out in the gym to improve his mental health of losing my beloved run. my. oh,

that's why i studied gym clothes was a way of leaving me from my depression and all the stuff you wanted to fulfill his dream of becoming a mortal and guessing commercial project. now, he wants topless in uganda as a form of exhibition and embracing. he's african drugs, many people would deed and not have to split a mental institute, but gets this grandson's use is only his hind. i feel better now and i feel myself. and when i look at myself in the mirror, i feel like, you know, i'm on are, that'd be like, yeah, i ton chevy. somebody's the hard to the people outside. i kind of my of them also be themselves and do something better for them. but hey, did you know that what is the only thing that need exercise all priced or to and dislike muscles,

they need checking the workouts to stay healthy and fits. this is what pull the electronic fields are doing in a different project. kind of, it's all about the meeting on goals, planning shorts and figuring out how to win in the pool game, to focus strategy and a little bit of fitness play no make it is when you made a 99. the 1st one has got to be patient out and originally and even when losing the one line, you know, the ones who we mostly got on well trained, you don't have to lose hope. you've got to keep training, which will show you mean the whole so many might not consider brain support as traditional supports. kenya's. elizabeth custody is changing the narrative. the young upcoming chest mazda is one of the best in the country and has won several championships. elizabeth sees there are a lot of things to consider becoming a chest mazda before i made debt to them, and i, honestly, i and um, lives now bless. so my dental elizabeth plays with the father to perfect

strategies and toxic has become very difficult to play a coach blast now she is more devices than me. so in me training is the, the, the, is i tell him why don't you and he think the gym or make things to, to, it just moves, exercising with your brain. and the mind is helpful for a child. because this makes you say physically and mentally saying mentally fit, having a sharp mind, that's exactly what you need. if you want to excel in east sports, all right, all right. i know there were times when you would only get smears if you told people that's playing video games competitively for hours is considered an actual sport. but we set out to prove once and for all that african mindsets are changing . african game is, are uniting showcasing the skills and embracing the thrill of competition,

whether it's mustering strategy in the lead of legends. oh, showing of lightning fast reflects is in call of duty, gaming is blowing up on the coincidence in sub saharan africa alone. there are some, a 186000000 gamers and fax number is rising according to office like games, industry reports, and get this. you can make some serious cards from each tube. in south africa, please have rates in meetings of dollars by winning tournaments in recent years, in ivory coast this, this incredible call to viewing at the same frequencies. competitive video gaming is starting to become a thing here. the mindset has to change because video gaming is now in international industry to do it. the important thing about the sport is that it has the capacity to attract huge audience. so that's what comment watch a bit like other sports today. some games kind of tracking the millions of people who connect on line. i mean,

just to be able to watch others play any. and in kenya, sylvia g, a k, a queen, arrow is absolutely can i get in this smells dominated scene, spots, adults and gaming levels. people in different my parents were in different, dustin and skeptical white listings and gave me your metals, california studies. but i know the font that's in the west and in asian country is it's possible to make a living also something that you can enjoy. now she's making a fortune out of a whole, be traveling around the world and promoting her brand. and she hopes small female gamers will fly, can you smoke high? something i'd say is the best revenge and still the success i'm just hungry to succeed in all to 100, you know, just overcome these obstacles. and if i really may with this are such a mcclare that is to say, mentioned um, way a little thing that leaves and where i come from at some point i'm just going to

come bulls and mutual them all right. might take away so far as that, whether it's east sports boxing or weight lifting, what you need to be really good is to have a very clear goal in mind. but that goal doesn't always have to be winning a metal. in total, michael in samsung id like you found out that you can get a workout and at the same time be a champion for the environment. the headboards, the good news serve all this trouble. yeah. i for yeah. republic call schedule. um, do we have a both of the do the judge and what, what i mean, let me tell you if this move done, emphasize it just pay, it doesn't matter. we do. this is

a combination of fitness on please bear with me. i'll go through all eco, duncan, you go. berman was talking. oh, is that possible to do when we begin? we are in the sub one. 0, well, i'm you please stop this last you'll see on the way. so let me do it. i did rob. i mean, like this, i'm, you're on the box a sample. i just want the money to go with. i'm just looking to get up to the, to the spectrum and does mod done talk to shield on walls of plastic,

but does it look look easy to have one kilogram of classes? so you were to pick up on plastic loan for each of the plastic bug that was on the drunk of the co. mo, done the about the 100 years on the go. so you have lots of dr. monday then. yes, yes. the people don't think just so you should receive them. i read it was such a is. this is the best of luck, all the same result points. i would recall every list that you got to give them a lot that like i you know, tell me what is the secret behind your question before a good judging. i think we need to be in good health and we just bought it. and also we put that to, i was wondering,

why do you guys decided to, you know, go with women this way? my uh, new, if i talk about women and we know that women, but this is but, and we need to, there's them, it's very important to do sparks and also to protect our arguments. we know that women in the 5 minutes, the best thing would talk to, to go ahead and take care of their house. if our mistake put that on me, they can't appeal said, go to them. we, we, i show that. it's a mazda 5, maybe half a day, at least age. yeah, sorry. so witness, the unity of munitions of this is to be to us, to make a difference in the community. and i love it. so thank you so much. samsung for that report from tuggle. alright, so having a goal is super important,

but you and i know that setting a goal is one thing. following through is another thing we get distracted, discouraged, we chose to watch tv instead of going for a run. so our final question today, what kind of a mindset do you need to become a champion in elder? it's kenya. my colleague, edith combined me had a deep conversation with the one and only multiple marathon record semester. and he would keep choking the press. colton. goat, which is short for the greatest of old time american gonna live, keep children indeed, defies human standards, especially since a kenyan broke records in vienna in 2019. as the 1st human in history keeps choke, it broke the 2 hour barrier at most honestly, average pace of competing one kilometer in 2 minutes. 50 seconds in 2021. he won his 2nd looms

a gold medal. but who's the person behind the world famous athlete? it's a very big firm, it's very beautiful. you don't plan on retirement, you know, you know, but the, not the but they those, but i totally know what i was to say. so if you would stop running, i'm guessing maybe the most competing. oh no, it's still fun. yeah. yes. how many is it? it's, it's a be me and it's not. this is the 18 for you. when you see everything that you've accomplished, surely you must feel very proud of yourself. oh yes, i am proud of myself. i am proud of those, luckily as a in, in, in, in my nice that onto the, to those time i couldn't. yeah. could stare piano. yeah. that's actually what i wanted to talk about, the people who are around you and how you are able to keep a very strong mind despite to all of the challenges. so is it okay for go sits in

your bun. i saw some haystacks to do be i'm going to take you back to us and put you in haste. okay, now okay, it's good athletes in particular and do a lot of stress and pressure. they have mental challenges, which they sometimes don't talk to people about how would you assess the states of spokesman and women, the mental health, particularly in kenya. right now. i think i could have done this a good sports man and who am attorneys is increasing then send for attendance. but so it's sort of a, it's a, it's a, it's a set of follow up at least. and what are the things that owned it by make up the people? have you ever found yourself in that situation where you were experiencing these high levels of stress? and so how did you deal with it? i have been surrounded for the 18 year for the last evening of sleep and most of the people to put touch eileen in school with an outside sport. so i think on my

left one i do not believe of but the following. now that i, if i lose, i'm not in the front of you, i'll tell you myself which i call, which i can live without this happening so they can die with those things. what are these values that you see? you know, that's so important to you. the to actually country without them the fun you can, you felt indicative and support what they mean by integrate these. could i to, to go to the next to mind cutting to face anything we need in your life to find you if the family to find yourself this being the funds you of course the distance so i can live without, without those values then that is 90 so who are these people that you've surrounded yourself with? who you say, you know the ones who hold it together? when things are a bit shaky? so i'm surrounded by my equity, but look fun. i'm getting more of the values. i'm getting the, what's needed for me, as far as steven, leaving this concept. yeah. can you tell me maybe some of the,

the key points that he is he was told to over the years. i mean, you've been with him a long time, is that you the fast, the point is trusting myself or about i treated myself as the best on leaving openness to life. those last $34.00 and a psychologist which is totally new. and when i was still young, yeah, i guess i'm trying to understand how you manage to control your emotions. so well, because he said in previous interviews, a disappearing is one of the ways to do that. is this the only way? because you're very tempered, i understand life. no, no, and this was the thing you need to understand life on anything come single way. you know, nick, i think we need to understand what they see, what they dislike. then there's a challenge that's wonderful. and how would you advise, you know, these young professionals, i'm sure you've done with them here all the time. they must see you on the streets and want to give you a high 5 and one to get to autograph. how do you advise them to face the challenges of today? because young people are grappling with a lot,

you need to the sure to tell you i have profession not to feel professional is just pending or katia go to speculative forbush and allison. you woke up really and respect the ethics or football field. profession allison. so it's somebody who's actually uh for you at the end of the bus and it's easy to manage. it's easy to instill anything under and stealing a post the boy. but developing seen anything that, that typically is a file you use or e p e, or he's a funding or the end of my not hold on the kind of what i call it a. so a somewhat have, you know, they've got the fleet. yeah. i, i really love that you keep coming back to this whole idea of values and i think i'm finally getting it that if it's done for something, then it's hard for people to present one evils in you. in the sense when you think about your future at the moment because you are mine who has accomplished everything in your career at this point, what do you visualize to oh,

i think i have visualizing that. so i need to map code or country around and country. and while i'm in one of the full pallet pools, i'll tell you about that. so it can support c, m. c, along create the platform to inspire next generation and, and, and 10000 people that typically if you, if you say yes and you have any sense that you might say things more than you can, it's not about for that's about any other profession up to. we need the booklet perspective professions, we need people to 3 and 15 to a set of signing and 15 to in their families, their friends that may have of that. so then on plus that's the thing. my ac is my bucket to use. yeah, that's a very busy bucking. so how do you plan on making us a running nation or running world? because it's one thing to be inspired by you, but it's another thing to wake up in the morning and run yourself. i'm trying to tell people that so before you do anything, even especially with documented,
