Bindra, Gopichand share experience in Athletes' Conclave

Beijing Olympics gold medallist shooter Abhinav Bindra and former All England champion Pullela Gopichand today shared their experience and knowledge with the aspiring Olympians and Paralympians during an Athletes' Conclave here today.
Aiming to provide a platform that enables interaction, information and inspiration, the GoSports Foundation Athletes' Conclave 2013 played host to top junior and elite Indian athletes across multiple sporting disciplines.
"Victory is more than winning. Victory is never giving up, never losing sight of my goal. Victory is knowing that I will do whatever it takes to reach there," said Bindra, as he flagged off the Conclave to an audience of 83 athletes of different disciplines from across the country.

The athletes were also treated to an insightful sharing by Indian badminton coach Pullela Gopichand, who urged every athlete to stay focused on being a champion.
"Don't look for the faults, the bad luck or the negatives. Look at dreaming of being a champion continuously. Always stay in the dream and focus on the dream while giving everything you do a hundred percent," said Gopichand.
The day also had sessions by Johan John from Nike, nutritionist Ryan Fernando, sports lawyer Nandan Kamath and senior journalist Sharda Ugra.
