Hyderabad: Two-time olympic medalist and Padmabhushan awardee PV Sindhu on Thursday said that India has great potential to emerge as a sports super power on account of the availability of an extremely large talent pool.

“However, in order to achieve this cherished goal, efforts should be made at grass roots level to inspire school children to participate in sports in huge numbers”, she said, addressing about 250 All India Services, Central Civil Services, and Military Engineer Services Officers, from across the country.

The officers were attending their foundation course at the Dr MCR HRD Institute, Hyderabad.

In her interactive session, Sindhu said that parents, sports-related organizations, and other stakeholders should make a joint effort to encourage children to take to sports at a young age, understand their aptitude, provide them professional guidance, and take care of their physical and mental fitness.

“Participation in different sports, practicing hard, and following dreams are more important than merely chasing medals”, she said and added that sportspersons should learn to celebrate successes, take failures in their strides, and be realistic in setting their professional targets.

Sindhu added that sportspersons should not develop a sense of complacency and, instead, make a deliberate attempt to keep learning their chosen sports. “The need of the hour is to understand the playing styles of their opponents and change their own strategies accordingly”, she added.

PV Ramana, father of Sindhu, who was himself an eminent Indian volleyball player, said that while Sindhu did exceptionally well in badminton, she was equally interested in her studies too and successfully pursued BCom and MBA.

Retired IPS officer E. Damodar said that humility was the defining characteristic of Sindhu’s personality, despite receiving an array of national and international awards. He said that even though the civil Servants may touch the commanding heights of success during their professional career, humility should continue to be the key hallmark of their personalities.

Institute DG and Spl Chief Secretary to Government of Telangana, Harpreet Singh said that the credit for the professional success of Sindhu should entirely go to her, however, he added that the support and guidance of her father is important in its own right.

He underlined the need for more and more parents like him in order to give a big boost to the emergence of successful players, in large numbers.
