\"Returning to competition after becoming a mother taught me to be more patient with myself. There were days when balancing training, my PhD and family responsibilities felt overwhelming, but every challenge made me mentally stronger. Having the support of my family and the team at the Inspire Institute of Sport has helped me stay focused on my goal and continue improving as an athlete,\" she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 27-year-old has emerged as one of India\u2019s most consistent discus throwers, overcoming personal and professional challenges to establish herself among the country\u2019s leading athletes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After making a successful return to competition following motherhood, Seema won gold at the 2025 National Games and claimed the national title. She now heads into the Commonwealth Games in the best form of her career.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With a personal best of 59.73m, achieved earlier this season, and a string of consistent performances that secured her Commonwealth Games qualification, Seema believes progress in discus is built on patience and repetition rather than chasing one big throw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cDiscus is an event where consistency matters just as much as distance. Every training session is about improving a little, trusting the process and making sure you can reproduce your best throws when it matters. I\u2019m happy with the work I\u2019ve put in this season, and Glasgow is another opportunity to test myself against a strong field,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ravinder Kaliramna, Seema\u2019s husband and coach, believes her greatest strength has been her consistency throughout the season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSeema has never looked for shortcuts. Whether it was returning after motherhood or balancing her PhD alongside training, she has approached everything with discipline and consistency. We\u2019ve focused on improving the small technical aspects every day, and that\u2019s why she\u2019s reached this stage. I believe she\u2019s ready to compete with the best and enjoy the moment in Glasgow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Having steadily established herself among India\u2019s leading discus throwers, Seema says her biggest lesson has been to focus on execution instead of outcomes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
