00:00

Walter Musanhu, a former Zimbabwean youth international footballer, is now making waves as a coach in Beijing, training young talents. What sets him apart in the eyes of Chinese parents and children? What unique "African flair" is he bringing to the pitch? We caught-up with him during a training session on his "home ground" to learn about the growth and success of his football academy and how it's fostering football skills and cultural exchanges at the grassroots level, both in China and abroad.

1.  Hailing from a family of football players, he stopped playing because of injury. He decided to devote time to nurturing young talents (7:03)

2.  "I'm not just a coach": philosophy includes sense of family, trust (9:25)

3.  "Football is a universal language"; multinational club has both boys and girls (12:59)

4.  Cultural exchange programs bring kids of different countries together, bridge gaps (20:29)
