Kenya Academy of Sports concludes week-coaching clinic

In a bid to strengthen the development of sports talent among young athletes, the Kenya Academy of Sports has concluded a one-week intensive training program for trainers at Moi Complex.

The program brought together trainers from 11 counties in the Central and Upper Eastern regions, equipping them with the necessary skills to nurture budding talents at the grassroots level.

James Theuri, the Head of Development at the Kenya Academy of Sports, emphasized the importance of early talent development.

“This training will help students at a young age to grow both technically and mentally in their respective sports. It’s a critical step towards building a solid foundation for future success,” he said.

The trainers expressed optimism about the program, noting that the knowledge gained will be instrumental in helping talented students reach their full potential.

“This training has given us new insights into talent development. We are now better prepared to identify and guide students with potential, helping them become top-level athletes,” one of the trainers stated.

Theuri also highlighted the long-term goal of the initiative, noting that improved grassroots coaching will directly benefit the junior and youth national teams. “With better-prepared trainers at the school level, we can expect stronger performances from our national teams at international and global competitions,” he added.

This marks another step forward in Kenya’s commitment to nurturing sports talent and building future champions through structured training and development programs.
