TIPS: 

        A nation of 950 million, we fail to produce great champions barring the occasional Vishwanathan Anand or Geet Sethi. Sports system steeped in bureaucracy. Overriding popularity of cricket leading to neglect in other sports. Traditionally, sports not accorded much importance by us as a career. Need to develop sports from the primary school level-"catch me young"? Various incentives to be given to budding sportsmen like academic credits, sports in lieu of a few other subjects etc. Development of sports infrastructure, making it amenable and affordable...etc.....

Dear Friends, 

            Good topic. I want to highlight some reasons to lack in Sports in our nation.

            In our nation have many sports persons. But due to family situation, the person mind was converted (brain washed by parents) to earn money and spend with his/her family like wise. Of course in sports also got money in many ways. But some people only go to successful sports person (spiritual confident persons). And some coaches gave mental torture to their students both men/women’s. This is also one of the reasons. Also now a days parents also advise to children’s " he become a doctor/engineers". So they don't allow to spending time with sports. They guide only to them. If some persons allowed means, they also good up to their college days, after that they focused to jobs.

           So the main reasons, doesn't have correct guidance to them.

 As what mohanrai said

           The main reason for this is right from the child hood the child is brought up in a mind setup that only thro studies we can earn money and if a person is not studying well he is not fit for anything.

         Parents are the main reason for this.b’s many parents doesn’t encourage their kids in sports as they do in other fields. They think that if a child has interest in sports he will have to suffer if he grows up.

          Proper encourage mend from the childhood is lacking and slowly they lose their interest in sports.

            Even if a grown up boy is playing very well he is not selected for playing in the national team b's playing for national team needs some recommendations these days and main thing is          talent is not given importance rather fame and money are given.

             Yes what meena says is correct today the mindset of every parent is like that, and the society became like that. And most important point is most of the schools give importance only to the studies than to the co-curricular activities. The schools have to give special guidance to the students who are interested in sports, and give the man opportunity to participate in tournaments.

          I object some views of meenaski. The parents feel that the son who is into sports won’t earn much when compared to the person who owns a degree. What is the reason of this????? This thought is true but the reason behind is the lack of support from the govt. If a person becomes a national player he should be helped financially for certain aspects for e.g. his son's educational. Lack of support leads to a disinterest in sports. The entertainment channel should also take responsibilities to telecast the sports rather than just telecasting cinemas. For younger children the TV channels should show telecast shows in the form that will impress them. Only by this the sports can be bought an important activity

Hi

           If parents are ready to spend enormous amount of money for his studies why cant they the same for him in sports instead. Why shud they seek government's help to support him. Of course in later part of his life he may seek govt support but initially parents are the main source of encouragement and govt can't play a major role initially.

               Now a day’s people r crazy abt cricket. They show much interest on this.

 Hockey is our National game. But day-by-day peoples interest on it is getting reduced. When we look at cricket most of the people like to participate in it. Where as Hockey we rarely see few schools nd Colleges showing interest on it. So as a national game we must not neglect it. And am not only saying Hockey but other sports too. The type of interest, which is shown towards cricket, must also be shown towards other Sports too.

Hiiiiiiii

Yes what my friends says is correct. I want to give some reasons.

            First govt is not giving much importance to sports. Yes we look at the people who are interested in cricket bcoz cricket is not under govt .we have cooperate board BCCI.and we have more sponsors for that. But for other sports there are less sponsors so plays face lot of problems so they r not showing interest. So govt has to give much importance sports. And in the selection process also we need recommendations so actual talented people are not getting chance. In population we r in second place but in Olympics we r not getting medals. Why bcoz the talented people r not getting chance. So my request is govt must encourage the players. And it should give the chance to the talented persons rather than recommended persons. And the same sponsors not only showing interest towards cricket at the same time if thy give importance to other sports it will be good.

Hi ppl

            It’s a very interesting topic to be discussed with. Nowadays people have a craze towards cricket. They are giving importance only to cricket. So the talents of the athletes in the other games r left unnoticed. Plus there r more sponsors 4 crickets than other games. Y don they sponsor 4 other games too????????????? Young minds r like molded soil. They r flexible. So parents shud impart their children abt the importance of sports in their young ages which all give them confidence n fillip to participate in sports in the future. This ails Indian sports

Any opposition 4 this??????????????????????????????????

 Hello friends,

               I agree with what all my friends has said as there is no much interest left in the parents to make their child a sportsman as it requires lots of money to invest and then after training also there is no guarantee that he will get selected as in that field more recommendations will plays the imp role but not the talent so according to me govt should take the initiative they should train all the children based on their talent, by seeing their performance they perform in their schools, even parents should understand their child's interest and should work accordingly by allowing them to take trainings and becoming the future sports person...

Hi

           According to me, one of the reasons for fewer sportsmen in our country might be because of lack of encouragement from parents as well as from schools. In many colleges they are not allocating time for games, which shows us the priority sports are being given. Many schools don’t conduct games hour or sports hour as it conducts special classes. A healthy body is a sign of good mind. So, I think sports must be given the same priority as studies and the schools n colleges must conduct sports hour for all the students at least every alternate day and they must provide good coaching for the students in whichever sports they are interested so that students who are interested in having sports as an career will be benefited.

           TODAY OUR SPORTSMAN LACKS BEHIND BECAUSE THE SPORTS AUTHORITY IS NOT CONCERN ABOUT THE FACILITIES THAT THEY PROVIDE TO THESE SPORTSMAN.

           A SPORTSMAN OF INDIA NEVER GETS A WORLD CLASS FACILITIES, SO HOW CAN THE GOVERMENT CAN THINK OF MEDALS .THE SPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA IS FULL OF POLITICS, ANJU BOBBY GEORGE WHEN RETURNED TO INDIA AFETR WINNING MEDAL, THEN WHEN SHE WAS ON THE ROUTINE TRANING IN THE STADIUM, AFTER THE SESSION SHE HAS TO HIRE A AUTO SHARING WITH OTHER TWO GIRLS, WHEN THIS MATTER WAS ASKED BY THE AUTHORITY, THEY REPLIED THAT THIS IS NOT OUR DUTY, IS THIS WAY U TREAT U'R CHAMP.

            AND WORST CONDITION IS IN OUR NATIONAL GAME HOCKEY, MR GILL IS ACTING LIKE A BULLY IN THIS FIELD, MAKING CONDITION WORST FOR THE PLAYERS, HE IS NOT ALLOWING THE PLAYERS TO PLAY IN THE BEST LEAGUE "THE HOLLAND LEAGUE" IN FREE SEASON.SO THAT THEY CAN IMPROVE THEIR GAME, EVEN HE HAS SHOWN DOOR TO DANRAJ PILLAI .THE CONDITION IS GETTING WORSE..................

Hi frnds

            I agreed with all of u but what meena told that’s right. Frnds, scenario of our India is different 70% population are from villages and all most r from a middle class family. So I feel, parents don’t want to see their children as a sports person bcoz they think sports r a way of entertainment and wasting of time. Parents think after completing study their children will earn a handsome salary.definetly sport like tennis, cricket has its own crazy n a lot of money but now sports steeped in bureaucracy and it has become a ground of politics. So everyone feel that his or her carrier is not secure in game.

          So my view is that there should not be a battle of politics in the sports and there should be awareness in people from their childhood about sports.

          Before few months there was only crazy of cricket but now people r crazy to watch SANIA MIRZA and her ricket.why? Bcoz of her miracles in court.

          So I think, our government should also take a step for empowerment of sports. The person whom have interest but bcoz of laking of resources they just kill their dream for being a perfect sports person.

         If there will be good sports academy at least 1/2 in a distant they will search hidden talents and if they will train the dynamic youth then I am damn sure we will find out several sachin, sania, anand etc.and also we will be able to make a place in the world sport, by this way we can make our image in even our national game what we have lost today.

        But frnd only these steps are not enough to stand a heavy body on a weak foot. So government should take care of these sports person, all need should be provided to the sportsperson by government. All sports person will feel their carrier is save and secure then even parent will allow their children.

Hi,

    Well, there are many reasons for this issue. At I fell is that, according to my knowledge there are so many best players are there in our nation, but the thing is that they r not coming into the real life, why bcoz they do not know the possibilities to participate in the compitions. The people do not have awareness of the oppertunites. Even the people and their parents do not know the rules and regulations of the game, but they can play well when compare to other players.

    They need to boost up, the youth, govt and some organizations can do this. So youth should come forward to encourage the people. The secondary thing is that, due to politics. Some polities are ruling the country; generally they will do the things for their family members and well wishers not for the people. They never bother abt the nation and the talent people.

    Only few people are having both talent and money. These people can easily shine, why bcoz they r having a strong support. Even if these people do not shine in this field, they r having alternative their parents will take care for these people. But the people who came from the remote places, they do not have any other source. So the people cannot come to the real life.
