    "content": "When I was a lecturer in Moi University, I remember somebody asked how many professors of Moi University had huge buildings in Eldoret Town. The buildings we see in Eldoret and Kapsabet towns belong to sportsmen and sportswomen. They are doing well economically. If we engage these people and develop their talents, they will earn a living through this particular domain in life. Sports also develops emotional balance. Human beings always develop their emotional abilities when they engage in various sports. According to various researches in psychology, the approach to issues of people who are active in sports is different. They react to issues differently. Moreover, sports promote movement. Most of the athletes that we have would not have travelled to different places of the world if it were not for sports. As Sen. Sakaja said, this country has been blessed by God. People now want to compete with Kenyans. I do not know if there is anything else that we would be known for were it not for sports. Who knows? If we develop adaptive sports, we might also nurture talents for PWDs that are so unique to our country. That could also put us on the world map. Sports also promote critical thinking. As the old saying goes, all work with no play makes Jack a dull boy. If we want our children to perform well in academics, we should engage them in various sports."
