Few sports people are able to juggle different disciplines. Kenyan footballers for instance tend to stick to only soccer, with the exception of JJ Masiga who played both soccer and rugby at the national level.
Most seem to change positions within the same sport. Like Mike Okoth, father to Divock Origi of Liverpool FC in the English Premier League. Mike was a formidable goalkeeper for Itierio High School and Shabana FC, then a top division soccer club in the Kenyan league. He did an about-turn by leaving the Kisii based club to join Kenya Breweries as a central striker-an anti-climax to many soccer fans who did not know his other talent.
