What sort of encouragement should an athlete in India be given? Give a few suggestions.

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

An athlete should get flexible schooling hours. He must be given free Boarding and lodging. The food he gets should be free but not free from quality. He must be given opportunities to attend meetings or listen to the videos of world’s best players in games and sports in which. he wishes to specialize. Those who hail from poor socio-economic backgrounds must be given sports shoes and uniforms and their travel expenses must be borne by either government or government approved sponsors.

Rural sports centers must be established at the district headquarters in every district. National level and international champions should interact with budding players once in six months. This would motivate young players to a great extent. A sports village could be designed in every district headquarter to nurture talents identified at a young age. “Many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its fragrance in the desert air”. To avoid such a thing, the government must spend 2% of its GDP on developing sports culture among all children. Every school must have a playground and a skilled physical education teacher too.
