There’s Mahesh Bhupathi with Globosport and then there is the rest of the talent management industry in India focussed on cricket. What do you think makes Globosport tick?
If you look at sports management today, there are cricketers and cricketer’s agents. Apart from that what have we done? There is Anil Singh in Procam who has done the Marathon and their niche events, apart from that what events do we have?
Hi, I hope this mail reaches you harsha . I am passionate sports person truly following a sport which was second nature to me . But with time and jotting the dots backwards ( Steve job famous line ) I discovered what I really want to do . And this is best phase I have ever been . I have always dream'nt of playing cricket in my life . And I was good at it but somehow along the line I lost it but uncounisouly was playing this other sport which intrigued me and the grasp of things looked easier than what was presented in the real work. I want to Persue this sport ahead in my life . I have always achieved laurels in sports ( school and college ) . But academics were average which was not my initial start to school . I was very hard working kid who did well all Round . But the field always connected to my real me . Never got a chance to prove or show it . Now actually I do. It's my own way of reaching the end of the road . And this was the process of being patient. As in one of your IIM speeches, you spoke about Going through the process of realizing of the value that I person possses later . And I achieved it now . I know the money will take care of me later , but now my hard work and passion is my prime importance . I'm 26 , and I think I just realised the right path of excellence , in the manner which I think was tailor made by the might Lord , but just for me to realise and take it . Sorry for such a long email , I wanted to say a lot of things , but wanted to present what was the gravity of the message while presenting ( time span grab ) . I have talent but I know after a point in time only my work ethic will count ( there will be 10 like me in the team ) and only my off season hard work will help me achieve my goal . And I went through a lot of failures before realizing this . I'm prepared to give it all and in my subconscious I have that belief . There Is no such thing as luck , only if your hard work surpasses your will , then comes luck . Just a question , How do I motivate to push myself between the phases of talent and working hard day in day out . The ability to come back again and again , i do possess it and follow but how to keep it charged up on those lean days ? Hope to hear from you soon, as it a very important question for me at this stage and hopefully one day you and my country will know what the result would be . I assure you . Thanks again . And you will always be my motivation and a mentor through the web. One day I hope to see you in person only because of my capability and deserving outcome of my hard work .
