Here is an interesting account of How Sindhu, the Silver medalist in Rio is moulded and shaped by Gopichand, the Guide ,Mentor and Philosopher of Sindhu

Gopichand who arrives at 4 AM every morning usually Practices with his Senior Students, who have been training with him for years.

During  the training Sessions with Sindhu, Gopichand was well aware that he was training a potential Medal winner in Rio Olympics. For more interesting facts

Thats such a great effort by the coach. On the lighter side he mentioned after sindhu won @Rio that now she can be back to being a normal 21 year old .. she can have her phone back and can even enjoy ice creams. This goes on to show the commitment hard work both the coach and the student have been going through. Salutes to both. 

Gopichand as a coach knows well What he has to do to make her Disciple a Champ. naturally, he imposes certain restrictions on foods. Sindhu was a great lover of Hyderabadi Chicken and Ice cream. But she dutifully obeyed to bind by her Coach's orders.

After achieving her goal, Gopichand removed all restrictions. That's Sindhu, the true Champ/

Gopichand was a good coach, yet the telangana dy CM  has said that Gopichand was a good coach but a better is needed if Sindhu is to win gold at Tokyo.I agree with him and now a international champion is needed( gold medal winner) to coach Sindu. She deserves the best. This is no reflection on Gopichand but the name of the game is dynamism.

That was a gaffe by by Telangana Dy. CM. But Sindh is confident that under the guidance of Gopichand himself, she can aim for Gold medal in Tokyo Olympics.

 

If he can make a 21yr old create history by winning silver...within  the next 4 yrs he can train her for gold as well. If govt was so interested they should have found someone earlier. It would be so unfair to take credit away from him at this stage

Telangana Government must be left matter of coach for Sindhu and give her other supports  what she wants and needs.

Sindhu was given all kinds of facilities to establish  a Coacing Academy of international Standards in association with her coach Gopichand. I heard there is a proposal from Gopichand to provide more  facilities for the Girls and women.

 

Why should the Telengana government poke its nose in who should be the coach. Itis very unfair to both the player and the coach. Let them bring coaches to teach them how to run the government.

Gopichand is a proven badminton coach who is credited with coaching such players a Saina and Sindhu. Telengana Government too awarded 1 Crore Rupees to Gopichand. What for do you think, Gopichand was given Rs. One Crore ?

currently both the telengana and andhra govt are showering rewards and recognition just to be one up the other and not really out of their true recognition of the sport. 

No. You must know Gopichand Academy was there even before the bifurcation of the State. More than Telengana AP was famous for stalwarts like Pichchayya. And players are equally from AP and Telengana. Sports do not know Politics and there are no or regional feelings in the players.

What you said is absolutely true. Sports does not have political and regional boundaries. But my point here is that the politics are showering their rewards more for their personal gains and for their popularity.

Personal gain for whom ?  Both the heads of the States are interested in Promoting Badminton. CM of AP did not insist on Gopichand or Sindhu to establish a Badminton Academy only in AP.. Both the CMs wanted to  produce Badminton Players of World Class through the excellent  training system  of Gopichand to represent INDIA. Not for Telengana or AP.
