I'm quite keen on sports, and being a sportsperson myself, I'm always interested in learning from other senior athletes. Their stories help me enhance my performance and build my confidence. The person I want to talk about is my friend, Ashwin Singh. He's a tall, fair-skinned man who's a district-level football player. He started playing in his school days, while I was in a higher grade. We have a two-year age gap, but we've been good friends since the beginning. I remember the first time I watched him play, he was just average. I wasn't very impressed with his performance. But over the years, he improved tremendously and developed into a true sportsperson. He even went on to play for the country at the national level. Despite all his victories, he suffered a knee fracture, which was heartbreaking for him. He was supposed to compete at the international level, representing our country, but the injury sidelined him. It was quite disheartening to see. For me, he's a very motivational and inspirational figure. Whenever I feel down, I talk to him, and he's always full of energy and encourages me to never give up. Even though he was injured, he didn't lose hope. Once he recovered, he started playing again for the country. I'm so happy that he's rebuilding his life and career.
