TIL Desk Sports/ Ace Indian shuttler P.V. Sindhu feels that because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic — which has put all sporting activities on hold — it might be a good opportunity to get former players in the country to double up as coaches for athletes.
“If the global pandemic continues, bringing coaches from abroad might become difficult, there are a lot of good players in our country who have played at international level, and we can use them in a coaching capacity,” Sindhu said on Tuesday.
Speaking of her own 2016 Olympic silver and her parents’ role, Sindhu said the sacrifices that parents make is something that often doesn’t get the importance it deserves. “Before the Rio Olympics we shifted to the academy. My mother gave up her job to care for me. My father took two years leave from his job. The challenge was recovering from the injury I suffered in 2015.
