Business in sports
By Mollentinah Ajiambo Sisuma
As a student who is so passionate in business, I tend to mostly follow up on big entrepreneurs who have successful journey stories; the likes of Vusi Thembakwayo, Marie Flore and Mark Cuban, just to mention but a few.
Mark Cuban describes business as the ultimate sport. ‘In many ways business can be compared to the hyper competitive world of professional sports. The non-stop action ,ever changing nature of the game, and ruthless battles for the tittle, certainly draw some close parallels for many entrepreneurs.’
Cuban also goes as far as citing his number one most important rule for start-ups as never getting started unless the business is an obsession to you. This applies to sports as individuals who participate in sports tend to be obsessed with it first. For example Kobe Bryant who is known for the mamba mentality in the basketball sport.
Cuban is an adamant believer that in order for you to succeed, you have to love what you are doing.
Sports as a hobby report
Morphine Opilio
Sports is one of the big fields in Kenya; lots of people spend their time practicing sports and it has since turned out to be a hobby for many people.
Due to the desire to find out what people prefer as a hobby, I did an online survey to find out what people preferred as a hobby and here’s the outcome of it:
PlayStation, a video game developed by Sony and first released in 1994, took the lead though tying up with Car & Bike Racing as the most preferred hobbies. They both tied at 28.33% each from 17 out of 60 personnel.
Surprisingly, the basketball and boardgames tied too with 16.67%, each having 10 responses out of 60 people. Basketball is a famous game played almost in every part of the world.Board games is a game that involves the movement of counters or other objects round a board.
In the case of one not being an ardent fan of PlayStation, car& bike racing, boardgames and basketball, they had an option of listing what they preferred. This option lead to lots of varied responses: swimming, cooking, sleeping, volleyball, bunjee jumping, rope skipping & wall climbing.
These are just but preferences of what people prefer practicing as a hobby. We continue to gather more info next week and find out more on sports as a hobby.

It can be double-edged
Nereus Krop
something that you do because of a certain reason can turn into passion, something that will enable you to even pay your bills.
Athletics is one of that sport that will help you make money out of it.Many start running in order to keep fit. With this millennials eating fast food because of dreading to cook and just being lazy,doctors have taken it upon themselves to advise them to eat healthy and mostly to exercise and keep fit. By doing so they end up discovering their passion and making a living out of it.
Doing this makes life even more interesting discovering your capabilities which also help you cater for your needs is like killing two using one stone.
A SURVEY ON EVENTS ~Mollentinah Ajiambo
I was conducting a survey on the events that happen in the neighborhood. Among the responses I had, 62.5% of the them said that the number of the events happening in the neighborhood was too few whereas 37.5% said they were too many. This survey is an indication that very few events occur and when they do, its occasionally.

Matters but not a priority
Nereus Krop
I conducted a survey wanting to know how many people prioritize there health. 46.56 percent does value their health while the other 44.44 percent don’t have their as a priority. The 45.56 percent that participate in sports are able to keep their health on track.
Only twelve percent of the people that took the survey participate in board games. This means that it’s only a few people that want value their mental health and the want to keep it on check. Most people don’t know that board games like mind games helps one to think clear because it acts like a stress reliever. Board games elavates our minds.
Twenty two percent play basketball and the other twenty percent participate in athletics. This is a good number of people that want to keep their metabolism rate and have strength.
According to this survey I believe that many people might not be aware that participating in sports is not only for the talented or professional but also for anyone who want to be healthy leaving.
I think it is time for everyone to reschedule the activities and fix any sports during there past time for them to participate in instead of heading for movies switch it up.
