Shivani, a new generation athletic sensation. This 8th Standard girl is competing with and sometimes beating the national medallists in local competitions. The 13 years Old’s potential is getting nurtured at the Mann Deshi Facility. It will be super interesting when she will be participating in the higher stages. She belongs to a family of farmers like most girls in the area, and she loves farming. Her parents are hardly aware of her achievements and potential. They are only aware that she likes to run, which is what she is doing. She herself is yet to recognize the hidden potential. For 400m, cloaking 1.07 during the trials under 13 is equivalent to a national junior record. She is an active participant in the personality development workshops and always makes people laugh with her acting performance. She is also learning the swimming techniques at the Mann Deshi Champions swimming pool. When she first arrived at the Mann Deshi center, she was quite shy and hardly spoke with anyone. She just liked running but wasn’t aware of the tactical aspects. The participation in local competitions and expert coaching is turning her into a next-level athlete.
Another multi-talented Rupali is the most studious among all at the Champions facility. Though shy and very less spoken, an eleventh standard science student has diverse interests other than sports. Every day she used to walk for 8 kilometers to her college and back other than the routine practice. She recently received a bicycle from Mann Deshi to commute. She has a keen interest in astrophysics and, if received proper guidance, has the potential to get into a good university. When she joined Mann Deshi Champions, we had to work on her basics during the lockdown period. She is a long-distance runner Practicing for 3km, 5km, and 10km. From a very humble background, she has very high dreams about her academics as well, and also, during one of the workshops, we realized that She is a nice singer as well. We think she has a lot of potentials that we can tap upon.
Way forward with opening up of the routine activities, we are looking forward to 2021 with great hopes. We have ready to take on the new challenges in upcoming competitions and the next level of personal developments. We hope to inculcate the following Sports Conference: With the immense success of the state-level online conference that we held in July for coaches and primary school teachers of Government schools, we are ready to go ahead with the next phase of the initiative with the cooperation of education department. Through this conference, basic sporting education shall be created among the local district's primary schools.
Robust Coaching: We have added several coaches to our team for track and field and swimming. With a focus on the upcoming competitions, online coaching is there, but we are also getting regular in-person guidance from the expert coaches from the paramilitary. We are hoping to have a great season ahead. Gymnasium & Swimming Pool: With the infrastructure in place, The Gymnasium facility will be ready in the next few months with state of the art equipment for holistic development. The well-equipped swimming pool is already in place and has been used for national level swimmers and other athletes for recovery and building techniques.
