Dipa revealed the other day how she overcame her short-tempered nature. "I was a very short-tempered person. Bhavna madam (Chauhan), who is a Sports psychologist at Sports Authority of India worked a lot on this aspect," Dipa told mid-day in an exclusive chat.

"During practice I used to get very angry because I was unable to complete my task perfectly and used to snap at every second person. I don't know what exactly she (Bhavna) did, but by the time I went to Rio, I was calm and well focused," she added.

Cool way to get cool!
