Despite the growing commercialisation in tennis, coach Ganesh Raman is confident that his formula of making the game affordable could generate champions with hunger to excel.
Watching one of his players in the ongoing ITF tournament at the Tennis Project, the seasoned coach from Hyderabad who had trained Sania Mirza for five years, in two spells, before and after her stardom, felt that Indian women players had the potential to make it big.
‘’Most of the coaching is constantly focused on tuning technique. After a point, the game is more mental. We need to build a players’ self esteem, self confidence and self belief. If we do that, they would win even without the best technique,’’ said Raman.
