Winner of the 2019 CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup, Kagimu is among the thousands of Uganda’s sportsmen, footballers per say who are in self-isolation and train within the confines of their respective homes.
“We are in quarantine to safe guard our lives from the danger of Coronavirus. It is always life first. Concerning the personal training schedule, I am strictly following the guidelines that were also given to us by the Uganda Cranes head coach (Johnathan McKinstry) as we broke off from the training camp prior to the CHAN tournament preparations” Kagimu discloses to Kawowo Sports.
Majority of the footballers are executing personal sessions that include in-house work-outs, drills in the compounds of their homes and community grounds, road work sessions and in the gymnasiums.
To Kagimu, a creative and holding midfielder who captains the tax collectors, it takes personal discipline to perfect the personal drills.
Since you are under less supervision, you need to be very disciplined to do these personal drills to perfection. Of course, there is a personal level and target I want to achieve. So, I am virtually left with no option than to fight a personal battle
