Away from the tense battle zone, the athletes had a priceless chance to be taken through a rigorous financial literacy process to equip them with knowledge and skills on how to grow and double their earnings. Personally, I’m ready to embrace the vital lessons we have been equipped with today to secure my financial future,” Kipkemei told Standard Sports. “We are addressing this critical need in the sporting industry, equipping sportspersons with the financial management skills necessary for them to build sustainable livelihoods and secure their sunset futures," said Wokabi. “This year, just as we did last season, we have been having a sit-down with the athletes – especially the upcoming ones. We are doing financial literacy training, which is a very critical component of their career."
