Being a active sports person and supporter of sports, I consider this topic is extremely important to discuss. If we see by our population we should have been top in the major international sports events but it is not so.
we are still struggling get medals, does it means we are out of talent?
I do not think so,
There are 3-4 main hurdles which are causing lagging in our thrust;
1) Contracted mentality of parents/society:
Parents do not encourage their children to play sports; and there is no chance they support to take it to professional level. We as a society are overly inclined towards academics ignoring the fact that a child learns basic lessons such as teamwork, cooperation, coordination and mainly accepting the failure from sports.
2)We only concentrate on few sports:
If I ask you how many of you have played cricket in their childhood many of you will raise your hands if not all of you will. If I ask you how many of you played. Kho-Kho no one will raise; For the matter of fact some of you will hear it for first time.
3) Bribery and corruption:
If anyone of you had been pro player or at-least represented state level; you must have witnessed level of bribery and corruption that is sabotaging the young talent. It is not momentary; for some players. Trust me it might effect so badly that; it will force them to leave sports permanently.
We all will have hurdles in every field; But the beauty lies in overcoming it and
How can we over come these hurdles?
1) Changing the mentality of parents and society for that matter:
This should be done by famous sports persons in collaboration with govt. we as a society feel some information coming from govt. as valid and authentic. until then we feel it is just an advertisement.
2)Government should spend more on encouragement and infrastructure and gymnasium; building only cricket stadium will not suffice; Yes, encouraging cricket is important.for the matter of fact we have got lots of reputation and money from cricket but that alone will not encourage other sports and in-turn will not increase medal count.
On the other hand the events like 'Khelo India khelo' , 'PYKKA' , Dasara-sports in Karnataka should be encouraged and properly advertised. Such events will motivate the youth especially teenagers.
Bottom line:
Bottom line is that currently we are in the path of change; like discussed earlier, only emphasis on few sports will not work. We should encourage all the sports equally. I strongly believe if bring these small changes, we can see India in top 10 list of summer Olympics in coming years.
