Patriotism does not pay the bills, money is the biggest motivator for our athletes, the more we put on the table, the better the quality of their performance. regards Joyce t we have people who can single-handed kill a lion? There are lots of sports in which we can give a try and stop comfortably thinking athletics only.
Javelin is still athletics. Fields athletics
The recruitment of sportsmen, again, should not be limited to the disciplined uniformed forces, but to other constituencies, more specifically, the youth who are idling and wasting away. The yardstick should be extended by far and wide.

A lot of talent remain untapped. Like me for example.I can throw the hammer :) and shooting.
Lets tap Talent from Isinya to Isiolo, from Lamu to Langata, Kakuma to Kakamega, Embu to Eldoret, Mombasa to Moyale, Mumias to Murang'a
I also think, in my layman understanding, the payment of these heroes and heroines, should commensurate to the training and they undertake.
Finally, (*this one I heard on radio*) I don't understand the reason why Athletics Kenya allow foreigners to train in Kenyan soil for a month, yet Kenyans, read Harambee Stars, cannot train in countries such as Brazil or Spain for a month?
Sports tourism is not bad for us. We should actually tap into it. You can actually create a sports resort and tap foreign talent to bring the much lauded "foreign exchange".
My 2 cents
+6 = 8cents (pesa nane)
