In his keynote speech, Ranveet Gill, the founder of New Horizons Alliance Pvt Ltd., stated that incorporating sports into the official school system will increase India’s medal total in the Olympics.
India, with its 1.4 billion people, is the youngest country in the world, yet only 6% of its citizens participate in sports, thus there should be more opportunities for them to play. Then and only then will there be a larger gene pool for medal winners to come from and for the success to permeate the nation and change it in ways that go well beyond the realm of athletics. According to Mr. Gill, there will be cross-pollination and a transfer of sporting brilliance to other spheres of life.
According to him, sports science re-engineers, re-defines, and repurposes the talents of athletes who need both psychological support and extensive training to manage highs and lows at an early age.
During his speech, David V. Rajan, the founder of Ortho-One Orthopaedic Speciality Centre, stated that sports science was becoming more and more popular in response to the need for non-surgical sports medicine therapies.
