Mike Friday's passion for Sevens is almost infectious as he discusses his long-term ambitions for the Kenyan team.
Positives
The 41-year-old has been impressed with the progress made by the side in a relatively short period - especially given their amateur status.
They are currently sixth in the standings - three places ahead of 2009 World Cup winners Wales and four ahead of his former charges England - while Injera has recaptured his best form to score 16 tries.
"We have come a long way," said Friday, who is known as 'Geezer' on the circuit. "If you look at Wellington there were so many positives for us.
"We improved our decision-making of how to move the ball and when, our body positions in the tackle and the way we cleaned out the ruck area.
"It is a case of slowly, slowly, softly, softly but there is a belief building within the squad.
"They are all working really hard, especially when you consider that they are amateurs. From 6 until 9 in the morning they are doing conditioning, then they are off to school or work before training again at 4pm."
One specific area in the side Friday is keen to develop is that of playmaker. It is a role he did well in himself during his days on the pitch, while he then helped mentor Simon Amor.
However he admits it could take some time to find Kenya's equivalent of New Zealand's Tomasi Cama - the 2012 IRB Sevens Player of the Year.
"Having spent five years commentating and analysing I couldn't understand why they weren't doing better, but having been involved I can know understand," said Friday.
Potential
"You can see the potential, with the pace and power in the side, so it is a case of working on the structure and the game knowledge. They also lack a Tomasi Cama, that little guy to pull the strings and give the game tempo.
"We have a couple of young lads coming through who have potential but it takes time to get that knowledge and understanding.
"Having someone like that, a 'pocket computer' to move the chess pieces around the pitch, is the holy grail for Sevens coaches, though."
While Kenya's involvement on the series remains his main focus, Friday admits that the Olympics - with Sevens set to take its place in Rio in 2016 - are very much on his mind.
"I have aspirations for the Olympics. Whether that is with Team GB or Kenya is all dependent on what is worked out," he added.
"However I needed to show the world I could still do it at the coal face. I've nothing to prove on the Series circuit unless it was to get a chance at the Olympics."
