How we balance school and professional sport

Phillip Kambili, rugby player and electrical engineering student at the University Of Nairobi.

The importance of sports and games in school encompasses more than just the benefit of physical activity. Increases in self-esteem and mental alertness make school sports and games necessary for every school age child. Games and sports are an integral part of a student’s life.

A student should study hard to be successful in competitive examinations. But, he should also play games and sports to enjoy the health and vigor of life. Playing and excelling in sports also teaches students the importance of hard work, perseverance, learning from failure, and importance of grasping opportunities.
