All of us like the idea of raising a child who loves sports. It would make my day if my daughter is the next Saina Nehwal for the nation. I know that it isn’t that easy and this journey comes with a lot of tough decisions when it comes to right nutrition, how much sleep should he/she get and more. The biggest one that I fear – “Will my child feel pressurized and will he/she have to give up a lot?”.
It isn’t easy but it is very important to make well-informed decisions. It is one thing to dream big but it is another thing to ensure harmony in the family.
Today, on KSP Radio, we speak to Kunal Maria about how he achieved it all. He went to one of the best schools in Mumbai, appeared for the IB while he was playing basketball for the state, played for the nation as well, studied law, went to the US for further education and now he is back with a sports and academics academy – Corvus American Academy.
He talks to us about what it takes to be a Student-Athlete, why it is important to never let go of education, the skills it takes to be a successful pro-athlete and how to create the write eco-system between school and sports.
