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.

It’s much easier for me to cry and do all those things on the stage than in real life.
June Brown (QID920562)
I never wanted to be an actress. I wanted to go into the medical professional. Acting was not important enough. That was a hobby – nothing to do with what you did in life.
Justin Gatlin (QID920603)
I’m not just a runner. I’m not just a fast guy. I’m a fighter. I’m a survivor in life.

Then, girls have to deal with a degree of unfair scrutiny about their life outside sports. If we have good hair or look good, we are called glamorous and it is presumed that we are not focused on sports. Nowadays, even the sportsmen are glamorous, good-looking, but they never face such scrutiny.

In China or in the U.S., the government program takes over promising sporting talent at a very early age and then financially secures their life. They get educated.
Julian Nagelsmann (QID920761)
All the fans who see me ride through the city are laughing. They can’t believe the manager of Leipzig is skateboarding! They like it. They never say, ‘He’s crazy.’ They recognise that you are living a normal life.
June Brown (QID920799)
I can’t say my life has been dominated by tragedy. I refuse to accept that. I’ve had less than some, more than others.
June Brown (QID920828)
I’ve had tragedy in my life, but I think that gives me a depth that I can bring to my work. I’d like to see more older women on TV because they can bring that life experience and emotion to a performance.
June Brown (QID920832)
I was having the worst year of my life before the offer from ‘EastEnders’ came through. I was 58, my kids were grown up, and I had no money and few offers.
Julius Randle (QID920858)
My grandmother left an incredible legacy and mark on my life and my family.
Julius Randle (QID920510)
When I realized I was having a baby boy, I wanted him to know that I’m there in his life: ‘Dad loves him. Dad’s always going to support him and be there for him.’ I don’t want him to have to worry about anything.
Justin Gatlin (QID920939)
Once I was away from track and field, I was able to realize that life is something you really have to work on.
Jordyn Woods (QID920219)
When I first started modeling it taught me to face rejection. In the industry and life in general there are going to be a lot of people who don’t like you or understand you, you have to be ok with the fact that what other people think really doesn’t matter.
Jordyn Woods (QID920223)
I feel like you’ll be most successful in life if you just try to block the noise, sometimes the hate can be louder than the love.
Josh Blue (QID920322)
I started out not doing jokes about my disability. I just talked about my life. But I’ve found that if I don’t broach the subject, people are kind of like, ‘C’mon, talk about it.’ They want to hear about it.
