Saina Nehwal - An Upcoming Star Of Indian Badminton
by Abdul Rauf Liaqat
If you want to reach to the Professional level in any career, it requires a lot of commitment, struggle and hard work. It is well known that Badminton is a very physically demanding game that requires a great deal of strength and fitness to compete at the top international levels. Same goes with the career of Saina Nehwal. She completed a hat-trick in the same year by winning the Indonesian Open on June 27, 2010. This win resulted in her rise to 3rd ranking and then to No. 2. Later in the same year she also won Hong Kong Super Series on December 12, 2010. The year 2010 is considered the most important and fruitful year of her life. On October 14, 2010 she won gold medal against Wong Mew Choo of Malaysia 19–21, 23–21, 21–13 in CWG Delhi and made an unforgettable moment in India's badminton history. Earlier this year, Saina Nehwal had gave an interview to 'timeswellness' in which she had talked about how she keeps fit. She had shared some information about her diet for strength, and also about how physical fitness be accompanied by mental strength and well-being. She also shared her daily fitness schedule in that interview and it was something like this if I'm not wrong. • Get up at 6:00 AM • Have a good breakfast. (her main meal) • Go to Gopichand Badminton Academy • Practice badminton skills from 7-11 AM • Come back home for Lunch. • Take a short nap. • Return back to academy at 3:30 PM • Practice for 3 hours till 7 PM. • Have a glass of juice after practice. • Followed by Dinner • Then Relax by listening to Hindi film music or watching TV (likes to watch others play) • Practice Yog Nidra (form of yoga meditation) If you look at the badminton players in the world today, everyone of the player has strong legs, high flexibility, perfect body structure and high endurance. And if any badminton player don't have these attributes, he/she can’t go on keeping the game alive. Saina's badminton success, her new blonde look, her brand endorsements all attract media attention, her honest hard work and commitment that she has had towards the tough training schedule for several years. It is this dedication that has made Saina Nehwal the kind of player that she is. Picture source: Google Image
