World champion shuttler P v sindhu believes foreign coaches would be difficult to hire in a post COVID-19 world, presenting former india internationals the opportunity to step forward and fill in the void. sindhu said on monday while speaking during an webinar "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".
The Olympic silver-medallist was addressing the newly-appointed Assistant Directors of the sports Authority of india through an online session. sindhu stressed on the importance of parents, coaches, administrators working as a team to build up a champion.
She said "The administrators must know the journey of every sportsperson. The future of indian sports lies in the hands of young sports administrators like all of you". The 24 year-old from hyderabad also said "players must be continuously tracked to avoid age fraud." sindhu also stressed on the need to acknowledge the contributions made by parents in the success of athletes. sindhu complimented the government for schemes such as Khelo india for propping up various sports from the grassroot level and urged other organisations to do the same.
