The center has been opened by Abhinav in collaboration with Techno body that is an Italian company. India’s high-performance athletes can approach Bindra and book a time to train.

It has to be noted that Abhinav missed the last chance to shine in Olympics by a small margin and stood fourth in the games. He was also a member of the committee formed by the Government to explore the reasons behind the poor performance of the shooter.

He submitted a 36-page report explaining the collective responsibilities of athletes, coaches and the national federation for the failure.

Reasons behind poor performance

Abhinav managed to perform best among the 12 shooters who were qualified for the games. This clearly shows how much training and exposure is still missing from the life of athletes in India. The poor infrastructure, financial crunches and a lot of other factors play a vital role in the overall poor performance.

The athletes often have to pay from their pockets for training while countries like the USA spend more than USD 22 per day on the athletes. In comparison to that, the Indian government spends on USD 0.03 per athlete per day.

There are more issues that result in poor performance. Being an athlete in India does not mean that the person will earn a good living. The athletes often take the job of being a sportsperson as a secondary choice.

The rewards and portfolios provided by the government to athletes are almost negligible. There is a need of collective efforts from different sections of the society including big business houses and government to increase the potential of the players.
