Urban Pitch: You’ve had a busy year competing in freestyle, futsal, and panna tournaments—what else have you been working on lately?
Zeem Ahmad: Currently, I am focusing on my product, “KeepItStreet.” I’ve been going from place to place performing and promoting my product at local events. I just got back from Pulau Langkawi to clear things off my mind, with the help of some freestyle time.
How has the rising competitiveness and popularity of freestyle affected you?
It has made me want to try some more creative moves and practice more so I can get to a higher level.
