Msambweni Member of Parliament Feisal Bader has urged young athletes to prioritise discipline as they develop their talents, saying the achievements of Mwanakombo Bakari, who secured an opportunity to play abroad, and Joshua Mdoe, who has risen to become a national referee, demonstrate the importance of discipline in sports.

Feisal said discipline is a key foundation for any young person seeking to succeed in a sporting career, urging talented youth to make good use of the opportunities available to them for the benefit of their future.

He noted that success in sports depends not only on talent but also on hard work, respect for instructions and maintaining discipline both on and off the field.

The legislator cited Mwanakombo Bakari’s opportunity to play abroad and Joshua Mdoe’s promotion to national-level refereeing as examples of how discipline and commitment can contribute to progress in sports.

Feisal also said the community has a responsibility to support talented young people by providing a favourable environment in which they can develop their abilities.

He urged upcoming players not to give up on their sporting ambitions, encouraging them to remain disciplined, work hard and stay focused on achieving their goals.
