Elavenil enjoyed a memorable day at the Games on Sunday, helping India win silver in the women\u2019s 10m air rifle team event before adding another silver in the individual competition at the Aichi Pref. General Shooting Gallery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Narang, who has guided Elavenil\u2019s development through his academy, shared a video of his conversation with the shooter on social media and offered her advice on recovering, staying focused and keeping things simple ahead of the next event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cTwo medals at the Asian Games! Congratulations, Elavenil, on a fantastic performance. Two medals are a reflection not just of what happens on competition day, but of the years of discipline, patience, hard work and countless hours behind the firing line,\u201d Narang wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Narang, who himself won two silver medals at the 2010 Asian Games, said the focus of his conversation with Elavenil was on what comes next, rather than dwelling on the medals already won.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt was good to catch up after the event, celebrate what has been achieved and then quickly turn our attention to what comes next, the Mixed Team event,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Elavenil revealed that Narang called her while she was on her way for her dope test and that their conversation included specific insights from the individual final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cGagan sir video called me. I was just going for my dope, and I took a few minutes off, and I was talking to Sir. He did have some really good insights about my finals, and I am glad that he had that noted down and he could give that to me and I could work on it,\u201d Elavenil said during a media interaction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSo, yes, I did speak with him. It was a very, very happy call. And of course, he did tell me about me following his footsteps, which, again, I am very grateful to learn from him,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The former shooter advised Elavenil to recover well, stay hydrated, eat right, sleep well and trust the technique and routine that had brought her to the Asian Games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cStay in your own bubble and take the next match one shot at a time,\u201d Narang wrote.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also asked her not to overanalyse the previous matches, chase scores or medals, or make sudden changes to her technique or equipment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
