For the first time we had four sailors who represented our country in the Olympics in Tokyo 2020 (three men and a woman). With the government and Yachting Association of India promoting the sport, I see a bright future ahead.
Mysoresport: Your advice to the upcoming youngsters who have taken up to the sport?
HM: They should put their effort and work hard for achieving their dream. I give them ten points to follow: 1. Know the rules properly; 2. Seek knowledge from wherever you get it, 3. Should be extremely methodical and scientific in your approach, 4. Willing to do hard work and effort, 5. Realistic goal setting is a must, 6. Should have a routine, 7.Be critical of yourself, 8.
