Many think that elite athletes like me are taken care of. But that is not true, only a few like Sindhu are looked after well.
Physically, when you are fit, mentally you are more alert and confident.
In fact, I am a bit apprehensive about biopics on sporting personalities in our country after seeing a few films. But my biopic is not going to be the same; it's completely different.

Victor J. Glover
I studied engineering at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, and between my junior and senior years I actually joined the Navy, while I was still in college.
Victoria Aveyard
World-building is my favorite pastime, so with me, I’m always about reining myself in. I don’t want to lose too much of the mystery by hammering every detail to death. I did fiddle with lots of maps for ‘Glass Sword,’ as the second installment sees Mare, Cal and company traveling throughout their country, and that’s always fun for me.
Victoria Aveyard
Maven is very much a haunting presence in ‘Glass Sword.’ His influence is everywhere, and he dogs Mare and Cal like no other. He’s my favorite character to write because he’s so complex, but also because he affects everyone else so deeply. He’s kind of like the source of gravity. Everyone moves around him and what he’s done.
Sam Mikulak
My parents met during their time at Cal Berkeley while they were both on the gymnastics team. Due to their intense gymnastics background, I started doing ‘Mommy and Me’ classes when I was 2 years old.
Robert Hass
When I was in high school in the ’50s you were supposed to be an Elvis Presley, a James Dean, a Marlon Brando or a Kingston Trio type in a button-down shirt headed for the fraternities at Stanford or Cal.

Nicholas Hammond
What’s amazing is everyone knows who Spider-Man is. We were filming in a Chicano community and standing side by side were a Cal Tech lab technician and a six-year-old boy, and both of them were in awe of the character. In fact, you might say he’s an equal opportunity fantasy hero.
Milo Yiannopoulos
Cal Poly is my kind of school. So many universities I visit boast about boring alumni like pioneering surgeons and Olympic athletes. But Cal Poly has none other than Weird Al Yankovic!
Ken Griffey Jr.
A franchise player, to me, is a guy like Kirby Puckett, Cal Ripken, a guy who’s been in one organization through their entire career.
Kerry Bishe
I went to a Cal Tech party after the ‘Facebook’ movie came out, and there were kids in dark rooms coding because it was cool again. That movie made it cool to sit in a room at a party and write code.
Kenneth G. Wilson
While at Cal Tech I talked a lot with Jon Mathews, then a junior faculty member; he taught me how to use the Institute’s computer; we also went on hikes together.
JPEGMAFIA

John Cho
When I first started acting in college, at Cal, the thing that I loved about acting was not being onstage but going into rehearsals. The thing, as I look back on it now, that I was most attracted to, was that I felt like I’d found my family. It was just a bunch of loonies.
Jeffrey Eugenides
At the same time, it’s a family story and more of an epic. I needed the third-person. I tried to give a sense that Cal, in writing his story, is perhaps inventing his past as much as recalling it.
Jaylen Brown
When I got to Cal, they tried to put me in safe classes, things I could succeed at. I went to Cal for an education. That’s definitely problematic. You see athletes taking majors that don’t add up to anything.
Jaylen Brown
The chips fall into place, but the educational experience I had at Cal, second to none.
Jaylen Brown
A lot of people didn’t know why I went to Cal. The Bay Area, Silicon Valley, I wanted to put myself in that position where I’m not only successful on the court but off the court.
Jason Kidd
It was part of my recruiting to go to Cal because they knew I loved to play baseball. I don’t know if I was good enough to make the team, but I worked out with the guys, and it was a lot of fun.
