Call for Enhanced Professionalism in Kabaddi, Says Assistant Coach

Assistant Coach BC Ramesh Advocates for Professionalism in Kabaddi

BC Ramesh, the assistant coach of the Indian kabaddi team, has emphasized the importance of enhancing the professionalism of the sport in order to elevate its global status and attract more talent. Speaking at a recent event focused on the future of kabaddi, Ramesh highlighted that while the sport has made significant strides, there remains a critical need for structured training programs, better facilities, and a more systematic approach to player development.

Kabaddi, a traditional Indian sport, has gained international attention, especially with the success of leagues such as the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL). However, Ramesh noted that to compete on a global scale, the sport must adopt practices seen in other professional sports. This includes the establishment of robust coaching certifications, enhanced support for players in terms of mental health and fitness, and improved marketing strategies to widen the fan base.

Rameshs comments come at a time when kabaddi is becoming increasingly popular, not only in India but also in several countries where it is being promoted as a competitive sport. The assistant coachs push for professionalism is seen as a crucial step toward ensuring the long-term sustainability and success of kabaddi, both domestically and internationally. With ongoing discussions around reforms in training and infrastructure, the future looks promising for the sport and its athletes.
