Strategising for every game has been beneficial: Manika Batra

“The role of a coach is very important. Aman has been a great mentor and coach, he has been travelling with me and would do a lot of strategising

Star India table tennis player Manika Batra feels changing her approach and chalking out comprehensive strategies for each match has helped in improving her game as she gears up for the upcoming Asian Games and next year’s Olympics.

Batra will be one of India’s biggest hopes in table tennis when the Indian contingent flies out to Hangzhou for the Asian Games this September, and according to her mixed doubles partner Sathiyan G, a medal in the Olympics can be expected from the pair. Batra, 28,  who won the bronze medal in Asian Cup last November, says that her game has gone through changes while working alongside her coach Aman Balgu. 

“The role of a coach is very important. Aman has been a great mentor and coach, he has been travelling with me and would do a lot of strategising.

“Earlier, I would not be much into strategising, but nowadays we strategise before every match and game. I think that is really helping me,” Batra told PTI.
