Soccer is hot in Thailand. The country has produced international players like Chanathip as it leads South-East Asia in the sport. One Japanese is giving all boys the chance to become professional soccer players. Kambe Sugao has spent years training players in Japan and abroad. In 2021 he began volunteer coaching a soccer team set up by a Thai entrepreneur. While the boys chase their dreams, Kambe cheers them on.

For over 15 years, Nishida Shin has taught gymnastics in Jamaica, a country with little history of this sport. Aside from paid lessons, he also runs free classes for kids from poor areas where crime is common. Nishida wanted to give these children a different goal. One such boy was Daniel Williams, who began training with Nishida at 8 and went to the World Championships at 20. He's now a coach, training the next generation of athletes. Meet the team shaping a new future for Jamaica's children.
