Denis Otim exemplifies such an athlete. The goalkeeper, who has made a blazing start with his new team, URA FC, achieving two clean sheets and earning a Man of the Match award in as many games, attributes his success to his unwavering self-motivation.
"It's demanding work, but my internal drive fuels me. Engaging in daily mirror training during games is an exhilarating experience. It constantly challenges me to push my limits and sustain this level of performance," Otim shared with the club's media.
"I'm committed to maintaining this form, and I'm not doing it alone; I'm indebted to my fellow players and the technical team, especially my goalkeeper coach, who has consistently placed trust in me."
Otim transitioned to the Tax Collectors from Express FC at the beginning of this season and immediately became an integral part of the team, featuring prominently in the FUFA Super 8 tournament.
Although URA FC reached the final and narrowly lost to BUL FC in a penalty shootout, Otim's outstanding performance against KCCA FC in the semi-finals, including a pivotal penalty save in open play, cannot be overlooked.
