When the whole university was getting crazy for gym and body building, a first year student heard the word ATHLETICS for the first time. What is this? She was thinking continuously. Yes she knew about basketball, volleyball, badminton, football etc, but this new term seems interesting. Within a minute she went to coaches’ room to inquire. She asked multiple questions within some seconds. What do people do in athletics? What will I get from it? What is the scope of this sport in India? Well she got all the answers and that moment she decided to start running.
Wait, wait! Let me introduce you to her. It’s Sakshi Mishra, in GLA University, Mathura. It was the first week in girl’s hostel and all the coaches came to inspire people. So, finally I got registered and started running. I had many options 100m race, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m and many more. I eventually started exploring, making new friends, learning new tricks, jogging hard and what not. Time passed, it was the day of competition. Well at end of the day, I was disappointed as I got last or second last position instead of being cheered a lot! I felt lost in crowd.
It was full moon night, I was gazing the moon wandering what positive or negative changes I acquired in this University. I realized all the positive changes were due to sports. Oh shit! Why didn’t I realize this earlier, I hugged the jersey I got from university. Oh God! They trusted me while giving this to me, they made me part of inauguration ceremony. How could I back off now? No, I should continue.
Time passed on, its day of competition again but this time I returned with 2 silver medals and 1 gold. Gradually I started loving all these, ground, those people, coaches, inspiration, discipline and most of all medals. Yes. Now I have 28 of them, I am progressing.
Clearly, I was neither the ultimate winner ever nor the best but I was appreciated and loved like winners. I am still not best but I tried learning and I am still learning a lot from coaches, seniors, juniors and the ground. I allowed myself to be a beginner, because nobody starts being excellent. This is the magic of sports; this is the magic of GLA.

Sakshi, I can very much appreciate the thrill that you felt. I experienced it myself. In high school, I was a sprinter. I had always been fast as a child. I had tried other sports, soccer(football), baseball, and basketball. But, I was always mediocre.
ReplyDeleteWhen I began running, I only had to focus on my own personal performance. As my times got better and as I was able to run farther without stopping, I counted each of these as personal achievements. I gained the respect of my teammates by how much work (without complaining) that I put into my training. When I sustained an injury I would take the time to train and rebuild, where some of my fellow teammates would merely stop running for a week.
I never received a gold or silver, but I did place. As I said before I had my own personal bests to beat, which I saw as barriers. If I beat those, that was all that mattered.
Alas, my sprinting career came to an end, when I sustained an injury during a cross country race that never really healed. I simply couldn't jump out of the blocks and gain the speed I needed. I am still able to jog (well, faster than a jog), and I enjoy that. But, I do miss the feeling of freedom that I had during a full sprint.
Sakshi, it was emotional and heart touching. Thank you for sharing your experience.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your career path! Achievements are always great but learning is paramount.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Candid and inspiring.
DeleteCongrats! I started out just like you, finishing last in the 3200m, but I’ve now finished 9 marathons, including Chicago, Berlin, and New York. Keep up your running journey!
