Highly rated Aldrine Kibet issues brotherly advice to fellow upcoming players

Kenya’s national under 18 star Aldrine Kibet has named two things that upcoming footballers need to do in order to achieve their dreams.

Kibet broke into the limelight this year after playing a crucial role in St. Anthony’s Boys High School success in the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) games.

He scored a worldie in the final against Dagoretti Secondary School to ensure the Kitale-based learning institution booked their spot in the East African school games and was named the Most Valuable Player in the tournament.

According to Kibet, who is now based in Spain with Nastic Soccer Academy, being humble is one of the most important qualities for one to thrive in the beautiful game.

“The main thing a footballer must have is being humble. No matter what happens be humble and prayerful,” he stated.

The 16-year-old has also made his intentions clear ahead of Kenya’s eagerly anticipated clash against Somalia in the ongoing CECAFA U18 tournament being played in Kisumu and Kakamega.

“This is a tournament. One opportunity one goal - that is the main goal of a tournament. You get to learn that in a tournament what you need to do is to score. When you go to a game, you don’t think about the opponent. You just have the positive attitude that you are going to win,” he explained.

Kenya sit at the top of Group A with six points, three more than the second-placed Somalia who trounced neighbors Sudan 3-0 in their recent match.

Kibet ended by speaking about his experiences at the Spanish based Nastic Soccer Academy.

“The environment there is different. Coaching and every aspect of football. Be it mental, everything you need in football. They have facilities,” added the player who hails from Baringo County. 

On the other hand, his teammate Luis Ingavi described the CECAFA tournament as a vehicle that will take them to their dream destination. 

“This tournament is preparing us for a bigger stage where there are a lot of people watching you. Now that we have this opportunity, we have to use it in order to achieve our goals,” commented the United States-based striker.
