O Phani Kumar
Introduction
I
am a 16 year old national medalist in swimming, a triathlete, an aquathlete;
currently studying at Sri Chaitanya Junior College in Vijayawada.
It all started with
I
started swimming at the age of 3. My dad aspired that I should join the sport
and excel in it. He wanted to see his dreams come true through me. My 74 year
grandfather took me to swimming pool on his bicycle. Thanks to him, because
of his caring that I now stand in the position of a national medalist.
My motivation
My
interest in the sport has grown as I watched my seniors bringing laurels to our
team. I too wanted to bring laurels to my state and even to my country.
My goals
My
goal is to represent India at the Olympics. My aim is to join NDA,
thereby joining the Indian Army.
My challenges
I
don’t have a good coach. My coaches till now are my seniors. To excel in my
sport and to achieve my goals, I need coaching from a highly professional
coach. And a coaching center like the one in Bangalore is appropriate, as
India’s top swimmers have emerged from this institute. I am unable to take
sufficient nutritious diet since my family cannot afford it. And my lack of
time for practice is also a hurdle.
My training schedule
I
go for 2hr practice session, once in the morning at 5am and again in the
evening at 6.30pm.
Dos and Donts of recovery
sessions
Recovery
session is not a playing session. Of course you can play little of other sport
in a free way, but not so hard that you get cramps. You should be relaxed and
get ready to do your workouts until you get your next recovery session without
any complaints.
Achievements I am proud of
I
am the first National Gold Medal winner from Krishna District. I swam across
Krishna river at the age of 4 years. I am proud of my first national gold medal
in 200m freestyle in 2008. I have won 5 individual championships in
state-level tournaments; 50 gold, 55 silver and 75 bronze medals at state and
national level.
I
have participated in Commonwealth Games Test Cup in 2010 and Olympics
selections in 2012.
My advice to newbies
Stick
to your basics. Make improvements to increase speed, but don’t alter your
original strokes.
Hello Phani
ReplyDeleteFirst of all Congratulations for your achievements (quite a lot) and best wishes for your future.
I felt very good to see the achiever to be so humble and still having his feet on ground. One more interesting feature I have observed from you is that you certainly acknowledge the efforts of your motivators (be it your Grandfather or Father).
I understand that you are missing "Professional Coach", but I certainly feel that things would fall in line, if you keep helping yourself and others.
All the best!!!
Wish to see your name as an Olympian soon.
