CLOSE-IN: Are Indian Sportspersons Mentally Strong? (IANS Column)
![]()
The Indian sportspersons’ performance at the Paris Olympics has once again brought out the “Tale of being so close and yet so far”. Have the Indian sportspersons got the mental strength to win and overcome the final hurdle? This is a question that has been lingering on one’s mind for quite a while.
India’s legendary badminton sports hero, Prakash Padukone, the coach of the new badminton star, Lakshya Sen, after the latter’s defeat in the bronze medal match, came forth extremely strongly for the need of a mental coach. He felt that his prodigy fell short not on skill or fitness but at the lack of one. Lakshya warmed our hearts with his performance, however, Prakash felt he did not have the “oomph” factor to beat his opponent.
