Sports is one of the big fields in Kenya; lots of people spend their time doing sports and it has since turned out to be a hobby. I did an online survey to find out what people preferred as a hobby and here’s the outcome of it:

PlayStation and car-bike racing took the lead, tying at 28.33% each from 17 out of 60 personnels

Surprising the basketball and board games tied too with 16.67 5 and each having 10 responses out of 60 people.

In the case one is not an ardent fan of PlayStation, car and bike racing, board games and basketball, they had an option of listing what they prefer. This is composed of a lot of varied responses: volleyball,netball and sleeping.

This is just but a preferences of what sport people would do as a hobby. We gather more next week.

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.

After a not so convincing start to his career at Arsenal, former and coach Freddy Ljungmberg has come under mild fire from a section of arsenal fans. the Swedish star had to take over from former coach Unai emery who was forced out after a string of poor results. Taking over an under motivated, under trained and under performing team, Freddie is struggling to replicate his success as a player with the squad. struggling to find a starting formula for premier league games, Freddie is running out of time to change the fortunes of the fourteenth placed team on the premier league log. we talked to a number of fans through a survey which posed the question on whether Freddie should leave arsenal. of the 100 respondents who gave their opinions, forty two which translates to 42 percent feel that Freddy Ljungberg is not the man to transform Arsenal to its former glory. twenty eight of them strongly agree that Ljungberg should in fact be on his way out of the club. however, a coll eighteen percent of Arsenal fans are not sure if Freddy should leave or stay a while longer. These fans are a bit sympathetic and feel he should have more time to deliver while at the same time feel he is not the right ,an for the job; quite a mixture of feelings. Twelve percent of the fans don’t think Ljungberg should leave.

Nurture kids talent tennis academy has decided to a tennis tournament and training camp for kids of different tennis levels. such tourneys are important for their development in the field of tennis. Coach Johannes Okumu who is the head-coach at the academy said they decided to host such a tournament every year to help nurture kids especially from disadvantaged backgrounds. with a prize money tagged on it, sponsors hope to come to the support of poor tennis playing kids through cash and other available incentives. the one week camp involves under 12,14,16,18 and 21 ages of tennis players. it is important to note that tennis as a sport is very difficult if kids are not closely monitored by a professional trainer. the nurture kids talent tourney is one among less than ten tournaments that take place countrywide. Kenya is not largely a tennis country thus tournaments are few as many players jostle for the few available slots on the limelight of glory.
