Abdulkader was nine years old when he came charging into a Saturday night session in One Ball’s earliest days. Back then it was around twenty kids, one big group, and a lot of nerves. Today, he’s one of our coaches.
Now studying a Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne, Abudhi (as he’s known) is back on the field every week, making sure every new player feels the welcome he once did.
“It’s important that I remain hopeful… to make sure they know that anything is possible.”
In his case study, Abdulkader talks about his first days at One Ball, what the leadership camp taught him, the challenges of stepping up as a coach, and the family who cheered him on from the sidelines.
