Sport talent development has saved our youths from poverty.

After the economic recession, so many new jobs have emerged in this country. The other day I met a former teacher and he told me how he lost his job during the recession. On asking what he was doing, he told me that he was one member of the group that had presented themselves as sport psychologists in our town. They were there to mentor and to develop sport talents amongst our youths. I was very happy to hear that because when the group arrived in our town, my brother was among the youths that went to be mentored and to be trained on the soccer game. He was now a coach in one of the football clubs in our town. The group created very many job opportunities to the trainees after the training period. Other trainees were sent to other towns in our country either as players or coaches, depending on their performances. Our youth are now earning even when so many people are finding it hard to get jobs in this country. Sports are one way in which a person can sustain themselves.
