“We believe that sport is instrumental in a child’s personal and social development” Round-Glass Sports

How many times do we say? “Yaar India does not have proper sporting culture when it comes to football.” How can we not make one Ronaldo or Messi in a population of 1.2 billion? Why don’t players like Neymar and Bale come and play for a club in India or why have Sunil Chettri or Bhaichung Bhutia have been unsuccessful in their efforts to play in EPL?

These are few of the questions that every Indian youngster is poised with. These are the questions that they are looking answers for. One side of the coin is that we are not physically fit enough to compete at that level. However, if we are not that good then how Mahendra Singh Dhoni can smash the ball out of the stadium? Alternatively, how was Rahul Dravid able to bat for so long in a test match?

Sports is about physicality and endurance. Moreover, when it comes to endurance and strength, we are no less than any other nation. It is just the training, infrastructure and belief that is needed to succeed. There are various sporting academies such as RoundGlass doing their bit to help lay the footballing foundation for upcoming kids.
