NEW DELHI: The Mission Olympic Cell (MOC) members under the Sports Authority of India (SAI) were recently left surprised when they received a proposal from the country's leading wrestlers, Ravi Kumar Dahiya and Deepak Punia, who requested for the appointment of a Jammu-based motivational speaker as their mental trainer for the Paris Olympics 2024.
The proposal to appoint Vickrant Mahajan on a monthly remuneration of Rs 50,000 per athlete till Olympics 2024 was promptly turned down by the MOC after it was found out that he didn't possess any qualification as a sports psychologist or mental trainer.
