A Good Kabaddi Player
Any player requires various characteristics to emerge as a good player. The game of Kabaddi, too, requires physical and mental fitness. While good health, muscular strength, and strategic skills are essential to emerge a winner, other traits are equally important. Determination, dedication, devotion, consistency in performance, and willingness to give one’s best are paramount.
We can acquire these skills if we resolve to do our best and give our hundred percent to the game. The right skills, ample practice, and the will to excel will help us reach our goal. Watching Kabaddi matches on television, seeking help from experts, finding one’s weak areas, and working on them are ways to develop attributes to become a good Kabaddi player.
'Hard work is the key to success' in Kabaddi or any other game. Let Us Remember: "The heights which great men, reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flight, they, while their companions slept, were toiling upwards in the night."
