South Africa’s BMX Prodigy Grows Up Under Pressure | Sport Kids Documentary

Video Description

There are great expectations upon Anita Zenani — a South African township girl — being a junior champion in BMX. The pressure is starting to weigh heavily on her shoulders. The last couple of years have been extremely intensive for her. With hard training and competition, as well as growing popularity and wide coverage of Anita’s success on local TV and in newspapers, the expectations might be a monster growing into a giant rather than an encouragement and inspiration. Lately, Anita has been struggling to find the motivation to train. As the only girl in the club, it's hard for her to keep up with the physically stronger boys. She starts to feel like an outsider, with no one to talk to about her frustrations. Her coach is dissatisfied with her lack of commitment and poor performance. At the same time, there is a whole new world out there. Anita is turning into a teenager, wanting to find time just to hang out with her friends and fit in. It has become hard for her to be seen as a future champion and to act like one. She feels confused and lost between what she should do and what she wants. Anita is at a crossroads and must soon decide about her future. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 — Intro ▷ 00:08 — Anita Zenani ▷ 01:17 — Chapter 11 ▷ 27:51 — Credits #motocross #bmx #southafrica #teen #athlete #sports #documentary #fulldocumentaries #wocomoDOCS ------- Watch more episodes: https://bit.ly/sport_kids_series Subscribe to wocomoDOCS: https://goo.gl/sBmGkp Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo ------- Sport Kids is a nordic collaboration with Story, Sweden, Final Cut for Real, Denmark and Sant & Usant, Norway; each of the six films is taking place in a different country, featuring a new kid and their relation to sport, family and friends.
