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.
Right from my childhood I used to physically fight with boys.
Getting a medal is not a small feat, irrespective of what color it is.
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.
If I lose a match, I don't get sad or feel down. But if I lose a close match, I surely have sleepless nights.
If you keep winning all the time, you may not learn a lot, but failure has a lot to teach.
I stopped playing mixed doubles and there is no result in mixed doubles. I was world number six. People who are talking about me and my performance and questioning my career and my achievements, where is the next mixed doubles pair, please show it to me. I would like to know.
Being a player, I am supposed to train and practice and only think about my game, what I have to develop and what weaknesses I have to take care of.
In doubles there was nobody before me. I have changed how people look at doubles.
I have done nothing wrong as captain of the Delhi Krrish Smashers franchisee in the IBL.
I don't expect people to understand, but as players who love the sport and have constantly been thrown a rock at by our association and now the Govt, there is only so much one can take.
Consistency is most important in international level and once you have it, you become a different player.
Unlike badminton playing major nations of the world, we never had a specialist doubles coach and so the discipline remained neglected.
I don't court controversies, but when I state facts, which are hard to digest for male-dominated authorities, they call them squabble.
I have fought back. From not being allowed to play, I have now qualified for Olympics in two events, it is satisfying. I feel proud.

The consistent support that singles player are getting is way more than doubles, it is 100:1. We hardly get any support, the only support we get is from the government but it is not enough if we have to perform consistently at the highest level.

I think a lot of athletes when they get in their mid and late 30s, they focus more on kids, on family.
Julian Nagelsmann (QID920765)
When I get a new player, we do tests about his character and personality because it is very important to find out about the things he loves to do on and off the pitch.

If I lose a match, I don’t get sad or feel down. But if I lose a close match, I surely have sleepless nights.

My philosophy is to attack the opponents near their own goal because your own way to the goal is not as along, if you get the ball higher up.

I think when you are older, you should be slowing down, but I wouldn’t like not to work as I would get rather miserable.
Julian Nagelsmann (QID920792)
For me, Mourinho is an extreme coach with focus on results who is not very concerned with glamour on the pitch. He puts the result above everything and if you get so many titles doing that, it is certainly not a wrong way.
June Brown (QID920528)
I usually have about 16 pills a day of various descriptions – I also have minerals from Salt Lake City and amino acids that get sent to me from Australia.
June Brown (QID920561)
I think that’s why a lot of people are very lonely and get ill when they’re older, because I think loneliness and having no motivation, nothing to work towards… I think it kills you.

Justin Gatlin (QID920584)
You have people who are out there age 30-plus still competing on the grand stage. If I keep in shape, keep to a certain speed and turn it up when I need to, I think I will be able to get out there and run what I need to run.
Julius Randle (QID920860)
You can get all the knowledge and wisdom and advice you want. But, it’s up to you to put in the work.

One of the things big law partners say when they talk about Atrium is that we get people who wouldn’t make partner. And I say, they’re the people who are doing the work for you anyway, but they transition out because they hate the lifestyle.
Justin Kan (QID920903)
Extrinsic motivations are like, ‘I wanna get rich, I wanna be famous.’… Even missionary ones like, ‘I wanna change the world with this idea.’… That’s an extrinsic motivation. And when things are hard, you’re going to be like, oh why am I doing this?
Justin Gatlin (QID920599)
I allowed myself to get beat and I beat myself. That’s the worst feeling in the world.
Justin Kan (QID920916)
A lot of tech people are afraid to get on the phone and talk to their customers, or get on Zoom, or whatever. But I think a great place to start is just be calling your customers all the time.
