3. CATCH ‘EM YOUNG – THROUGH SWOT ANALYSIS;- WHAT INDIA LACKS IS NOT “LACK OF TALENT”, BUT “LACK OF APPLICATION OF TALENT”; WE HAVE LOTS OF DIAMONDS IN SPORTS, BUT ALL THESE DIAMONDS GLITTER ONLY WHEN THEY ARE POLISHED & to do so, WE NEED PROFESSIONAL COACHING ! Catch’em young should be the mantra & SPECIAL TALENTS SD BE IDENTIFIED IN THE BEGINNING FOR GROOMING, based on SWOT analysis.

4. IDENTIFY THE SPECIAL TALENT / SPORTS AREA, IN WHICH CHILD CAN EXCEL …WE DO NOT WANT JACK OF ALL, MASTER OF NONE….WE NEED TO GROOM MASTER OF ONE OUTDOOR / INDOOR SPORTS:- Coaches should be able to identify the strength of interested students & guide them dep. on their potential, rather than asking them to get trained in all games – which is being the case in most of our schools, when students play cricket, football, basket ball, tennis & what not – this approach may not work

5. MARKS FOR SPORTS TO ENCOURAGE WHOLESOME PARTICIPATION:- Every student in the school should be asked choose/give their interest in 2 to 3 Indoor / Outdoor Games / sports & depending on their interest/progress, they can further be trained in the area of strength/forte! In order to make it success, rather than a ritual, it’s time, we introduce the system of marks for sports, at least on at trial basis first & then see later – how it works!

6. RELAXATION ADMISSION CRITERIA FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE EXCELLED IN SPORTS FOR ADMISSION IN PROFESSIONAL COLLEGES:- Many students, who’re capable of achieving much more in sports, are afraid of devoting their time to sports due to the fear of losing out admission in better collages or area / subject of their choice – due to which, they r forced to forgo the sports midway – LET’S DO OUR BEST TO ENSURE SPECIAL TALENT DO NOT GO WASTED!

7. AVAILABILITIES OF FACILITIES FOR SPORTS AT TALUK/DIST HQ LEVEL:- This is another area, which needs marked improvement – particularly to bring out the rural talent. Most of our sportsmen/women do not have access to proper coaching or training facilities in order to hone their skills. We need better outdoor as well indoor sports equipments/familiarities, at every Taluk/ Dist HQ center. Proper track & field court could help in making the practice more systematic.

8. SUPPORT FROM GOVT/LOCAL ASSOCIATIONS/BUSINESS HOUSE SHOULD HELP TO PROMOTE SPORTS BY ADOPTING EVERY TALUK FOR SPORTS DEVELOPMENT:- In fact, Govt./Local Bodies/Business houses should help/sponsor these facilities, in order to develop Sports facilities in every town of our country. At every district level, Sports Hostel must be maintained with clean toilets/clean rooms/well maintained Gym/ Hygienic Canteen etc.. for needy sportsmen/women, so that they benefit during sports camps.

9. COMPETITION / SPORTS EVENT / ENCOURAGEMENT:- Unless there’s competition, one cannot aspire to bring the best out of anyone & to achieve the same, we need to arrange regular sports competitions / events in a well structured manner so that, best talents in taluk progresses to district level and from district level, further to state level, then national & international level etc.. Let there be a live telecast of all these events on TV Channels.

10. LET’S ALSO HAVE SANSAD ADARSH KHEL GRAM/NAGAR YOJANA : In the lines of Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana, every MLA / MP should allocate a portion of his/her fund to Sports development in his/her constituency along with other basic essential facilities such as clean toilets, clean drinking water, library etc.. not just in their constituency, but also in Play ground/sports hostel, as the case may be.

11. SEND THE CHOSEN ONES / EXTRAORDINARY TALENTS ABROAD FOR SPECIAL TRAINING/EXPOSURE, IF NEED BE The best of best talents should also be sent abroad with sponsoring from Govt./ Sports /Authorities or interested business houses, to get further training & exposure to international events. Expert advice/coaching of former international Sport-stars from India or abroad can also be availed to bring out better results.

12. ABOVE ALL, OTHER SPORTS ARE LOSING AT THE COST OF CRICKET:- It’s an undisputed fact that, ours is basically cricket loving nation, & we all love cricket & given the name, fame Coaches should be able to identify the strength of interested students & guide them dep. on their potential, rather than asking them to get trained in all games – which is being the case in most of our schools, when students play cricket, football, basket ball, tennis & what not – this approach may not work
