New Delhi: The new Indian men’s boxing coach was appointed by Narender Rana wanted his foundation to take steps back into the ring, raising their confidence and preferred to live on social media during the competition when he broke his vision on how to take advanced sports after a bland Olympic campaign .
The 49-year-old, who returned to the country on Monday after his first road as head coach during the World Championship in Belgrade, revealed that he took the winner of Bronze (54kg) to make him focus on the semifinals.
.
Akash is a medal winner alone in India at the event.
“I took the phone after the quarter-finals because he was bombarded with calls and messages.
ITNI MEIN disorder breaks for Hota, recovery of Hoti District? I have to do it,” Rana said in an interview.
“His parents were no longer there and his uncle called me after he could not contact him.
I told him what I had done and even offered to let the boy talk to him.
But his uncle said ‘Aapne Kuch Soci, Bas Usko Hamari Shubhkamnaayen de Dena’, “I recall.
Akash aged 21 years has lost his mother in September just before the national championship, where he then won gold who was not aware of the tragedy at home.
The shutter was on his side even at that time and had kept the news from him at the request of his family so that the young man could complete the task.
“Look, social media should not interfere with your recovery time.
If you sleep with a telephone next to you, you will be disturbed by it.
And in physical sports like boxing, good sleep is very important for recovery.
How it might be when you just look at your cellphone ? ” he says.
“I believe social media should be avoided during training and intense competition.
It is annoying,” he added.
Indian failure to take a medal in men’s boxing in the Tokyo match raises many questions about the mental preparedness of the boxer for a stage as big as the Olympics.
The underwhelming campaign causes the removal of C A Kuttappa as the main coach.
Rana acknowledges that boxers are lacking in confidence to some extent and sometimes triggered by intense spotlight.
“The pressure many times leads to negative performance and this is what happens to someone like Amit Pamhal.
He is the world No.1, everyone talks about him, and in the end it has a negative impact on him,” he said.
“I talked to him after he returned from Tokyo and he told me ‘Sir, Bohot Pressure Tha, Nahi Le Paya’.
As a coach, will be my job to protect boxers in such circumstances and ensure that their belief in themselves remains intact , basically eliminating fear of failure.
“I told him and other people too, did not reflect because of loss, learn from him and that was my approach …
Boxers trusted us, not a psychologist who will come from outside.
We know their lives, their routines like the back of our hands and I believe we (coach) can be a support system that will make them in a good head room.
“The strategy in the ring, Rana wants his ward focused on counter-attack because boxing is” no longer about punching electricity or hitting and running “.” You must show that you know your craft.
During the world championship, I saw so many attacks where the back of the power-pound and aggressive bat was lost comprehensively to fight the attacker.
Just throw your arms don’t get you value.
“Your legs have to move in rhythm, turn on the style.
Maarte Jaane’s Bout Nahi Jeetoge, Thoda does because of Padega, out-maneuvering your opponent in a counterattack,” he said.
Another focus area for the shutter will be a fitness and for that he wants trials before every big competition so that only the best makes the last troop.
“Rankings can be there to find out your four or five of your camps in the camp but that alone should not be a criterion for the selection.
I want to trial because you also get a fair idea about who is physically in better condition.” The past shows are good to see but that alone should not guarantee the election.
The idea is to keep things so competitive so that everyone works hard and doesn’t just take their place, “he explained.
