Book review:
"Golden Sportspersons" is a compilation of the inspiring tales of India's legendary sportspersons. The author has covered sports like archery, athletics, badminton, boxing, chess, cricket, football, gymnastics, hockey, shooting, weightlifting and wrestling. Introducing the basics of each game and sharing a true story of one of the selective sportsperson from each game makes this a captivating and engrossing read.
I was pretty aware of these games but few details shared startled me and gave a fresh perspective. I enjoyed reading brief and crisp stories of these legendary sportspersons and narrated the added details to my kids and students.
I liked the story of Eldhose Paul, the first Indian to win a gold medal in the man's triple jump event at the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham. Despite his small height compared to other atheletes, his determination to jump and consistent efforts made him a star. His journey guides others to be focused and continue with their efforts and never give up.
One of the perspectives that I appreciate about this book is the degree of detail: it lists the account of every individual, except makes sense of it with regards to mental cycles, feelings, and actual activities. The author doesn't avoid investigating the hazier parts of their ways, including the disappointments, the snapshots of uncertainty, and the reactions they confronted, which just makes their triumphs all the more motivating.
The book's investigation of sportsmanship and discipline across different disciplines—from toxophilism to wrestling—portrays the assorted, at this point interconnected nature of brandishing greatness. The consideration of less popular games.
All in all, it isn't simply a bunch of examples of overcoming adversity; however, the definite examination of endeavours it takes to be a hero. Any avid supporter and any individual who needs to learn about motivation will find this book exceptionally helpful, as well as every one of the people who need to fathom the connection between ability, work, and steadiness, which makes legends in sport. This book is a distinctive, genuine story of win and soul that every decoration addresses and represents.
Highly recommended!
