Every time I watch Indian badminton I get so frustrated it’s like being stuck in a relationship with your ex! We’ve got so many talented players but it feels like we’re not doing enough with it we have the potential, but something’s missing in terms of strategy and smart planning.

Disappointed that the official Uttarakhand national games website still doesn't show participant lists for most sports and no timetables (with TBD and coming soon featuring literally everywhere). I mean the games have already started! All this info should have already been published a week back! I feel strongly about this especially when we are trying to attract new interest in unpopular/less known olympic sports. If India wants to rise up on the international stage, we can't keep lagging behind in the most basic of tasks that every other country does almost automatically. Theres no excuses! The national games organisational committee needs to do a better job next time to show we actually take sport seriously.

I used to enjoy playing football during my school days, but I was so bad at it that most kids wouldn’t let me join them. Recently, while going through some old school stuff, I came across a pair of shin guards, and it makes me want to play again. I’ve been thinking about joining a coaching, but all the ones I know of only take in school going kids. Does anyone know of any football coaching centers(South Delhi if possible) that accept 24 year olds?
