Kudos to Nike for sponsoring raw talent which contributes to reaching one's goals, as either a replacement or supplement to diligent practicing and hard work. Certainly, having a natural ability to learn some of the more common concepts of the game will place Evans higher up on the learning curve than if these things were not intuitive.eg. The recent signing of a nine-year-old from Brisbane for Manchester United%u2019s academy. People tend to naturally gravitate towards things that initially come easy to them, and parents often try to nurture these "talents" in their children with lessons, resources, and supplies. When you look at the most respected players in the game, they have attained this status because they have worked hard to achieve their various successes. I wish other corporate entities come forward in the same manner as Nike has done. I wish Evans Thomas all the best in becoming a soccer star on the world stage in the future as free India has never seen one since gaining independence from the British
welcome another shining star for india...i hope football prospers in india as well....sania is doin a gr8 job too....hail india...u guys have a billion supporters

Half of your message is definitely addressed to Evans' grandchild.
I think Nike and other giants of Soccer should start a small tournament at Calicut / Malappuram, maybe a seven side will do and see the enthusiasm of the players and the crowd. It will be a great success.

What is this new game you are suggesting. The game hockey in its current format, do have ONE BALL.
