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.

Companies are bought not sold, an investment banker told me that once and it is very true. Basically what it means is you can’t control selling your company, you can only sell it if somebody wants to buy it, and you need someone to want to buy it.
Jwala Gutta (QID920711)
I was very different from other badminton players. I did not bring badminton home. I wouldn’t eat, sleep, drink badminton or talk about it to friends.
Julius Randle (QID920509)
It was just my mom, my sister and me. And from a young age, my mom always said I was like the man of the house. I really became the man of the house. And I really took that responsibility very seriously: being the man of the house, the protector.

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.

At 16 I was very interested in palmistry. The fate line on my right palm broke into two parts that ran for a quarter of an inch on parallel tracks. I used to look at it and wonder, ‘What will happen?’
Julian Nagelsmann (QID920758)
I think the playbook in American football would be a very good idea for soccer.
Julian Nagelsmann (QID920760)
I want to win every game – soccer, tennis, it doesn’t matter. When I play I am very loud. I am very emotional.
June Brown (QID920552)
Acting is a very strange thing. It isn’t about trying to feel, for me, it is about thinking.
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.
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.
Julian Nagelsmann (QID920778)
In the stadium, when it is very noisy, you only have a limited influence as a coach. You need players on the field who understand the plan and who will talk to the guys when things are not going well.
Justin Gatlin (QID920628)
I wanted to see what sports were like… I went out for the track team. And then I got a D on my report card and my mom pulled me off the track team; I was very upset.
Julian Nagelsmann (QID920782)
I think the Spanish way is the philosophy is similar to mines and in Spain they are very good at coaching young players for the team.
Justin Gatlin (QID920630)
Every year, I laid out a strategy of what I was going to do, and I was very successful. In 2003, I wanted to take the world by storm, and I did that indoors. In 2004, I wanted to run fast; I did that. In 2005, I wanted to be dominant, and I did that as well.
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.
Justin Kan (QID920644)
For gamers, I think it’s very easy for people to produce content that’s pretty engaging.
Julian Nagelsmann (QID920797)
I am one who coaches very aggressively and screams loudly so that my players can hear me.
Justin Kan (QID920649)
People like the feeling of access that is very raw, unedited, and inspirational.
June Brown (QID920798)
I could have played Dot as a very dreary woman with a list of illnesses, but I played her with an edge, so it was funny.
