Uganda just threw a whole day-long workshop where almost 40 current and retired athletes got schooled on money management, business fundamentals, and keeping their heads straight after competitive careers wind down. Stanbic Business Incubator teamed up with Legends Marathon to run sessions covering investment vehicles like unit trusts, mental wellness support, and how to stop mixing personal cash with business funds at their Kololo spot.
Two-time Commonwealth gold medalist Moses Kipsiro admitted he learned the hard way about making dumb investment choices when money was flowing, and he runs a training camp with over 50 young runners who could benefit from this knowledge. Rugby star Winnie Atyang Alexander said the bond investment breakdown was eye-opening since most sportspeople never figure out how to actually grow their earnings.
The whole thing falls under a three-part program called Impact Sport that aims to keep former competitors relevant after cameras stop rolling, with the next marathon event happening in Kampala.
