We have seen in Olympics that our sportsmen and women are rarely up to the mark, therefore, if we compared to their better prepared opponents who have had the advantages of state of art training facilities and dedicated coaches, along with balanced diet regimen. Some of the them are also selected at an early age by talent spotters who instill in them a desire to win at major events.
Where the Indians are concerned, cricket is only game where they routinely do well, as in hockey earlier.we know But cricket does not require as intense a schedule of training as do disciplines like athletics or swimming and does not have kind of global competition that others sports have as its playing is limited to a handful of largely Commonwealth countries.
In my opinion one possible reason why India lags behind is that it has always relied more on individual talent as in cases of Sindhu, Sakshi Malik and Dipa Karmakar than on the organisations devoted to nurturing potential winners.
This is true of cricket as well where team is heavily dependent on a single player for success whether it is Virat Kohli today or Sachin Tendulkar yesterday.
Diet is the another factor why India’s deficiencies show up. As Kapil Dev once said, Indians cannot be top grade pace bowlers because they eat too much fried food.
Besides, it is undeniable that the virtually all the winners from European, and American,and African even Asian countries like China are meat eaters, including beef. Vegetarianism, which is the often leads to protein deficiency, is not the exactly the road to sporting success.
The inadequacy of food habits is compounded by generally slight build of Indians as well as lack of stamina which is why they are now where near the top in say football.
I think An improvement in training facilities may bring in a few more medals.
In india Since sports do not rank as high in priorities of most families as studies, children regard playing games as spare time activity rather than as a prime objective like coming first in class. And it’s true.
Indian parents on making their children doctors and engineers is one of reasons why India does not produce world class sportspersons.
Among other reasons mentioned by media are poverty and girls not being allowed into sports. For instance, Sakshi Malik’s parents also were ridiculed in Rohtak for allowing their girl to become a wrestler, and supposedly a men’s sport.
Ironically, emphasis on studies does not fetch us too many Nobel prizes either. Evidently, intellectual faculties of the Indians remain as undeveloped as their sporting skills.
The explanations for deficiencies in both mind and body are same diet and infrastructure. It is generally not recognised that the studying hard requires as much as stamina and concentration as playing games.
We know that chess players like Bobby Fisher kept themselves physically fit through regular exercises.Mind cannot be at its peak if the body is weak.
If sporting infrastructure is rudimentary, as television pictures of Dipa Karmakar’s gymnasium in Agartala showed, groves of academe are no better.
