For most players of different sports, the onus on them is to convert their talent into a money making trade on which they can economically depend on. a small percentage of players really make it out of the woods and make money out of their skills. this however does not mean that the small few compose of the most talented players of those sports. The problem is worse in third world countries like Kenya where facilities are poor and the few available ones are found in urban centers. The strain on them is unbelievably high with a high number of hopeful kids wishing to make the cut from the masses. according to Martin Moses, a sports analyst, the big problem lies on the government that through corruption and misappropriation of funds render their sports departments derelicts. monies meant for sports development are carted off by cartels into their pockets by giving kickbacks to government officials. As this is happening, even the players who make the basic cut to the local professional league have nothing to show for their vast talents. their pay can hardly cater for their upkeep. when they get injured on duty.the treatment costs are on their shoulders. with such treatment, almost none of them makes it to the elite leagues.
