“I had a dream; a dream that is now a thing of the past"

It’s true that once the proper time comes, things fall in situ. I will say that it had been at one such instant that Mr TR Govindarajan (former owner of the club) and that i crossed ways. He was searching for the proper buyer; i used to be eager.


Some two-months just about past, one sunny afternoon, we tend to signed the papers and sealed the deal, changed guarantees and assurances, saw a vision along and kicked it high into the universe to let it do what it will best, manifest it into reality, rather like it had this point. I formally in hand a soccer club; one thing that I had envisaged, hoped for and dreamt of, for as long as I will bear in mind.

Alongside the enjoyment and glory of possessing the Nethaji Sports Club, came the heavy, intimidating and overwhelming responsibility and obligation to uphold, sustain and preserve its status and caliber. thus naturally, I got all the way down to work straightaway. i started to dream once more.

Nethaji was one in every of the highest groups and within the senior division league for an honest a few years till three-years-ago, once it had been demoted to the primary division league. prime on the list is definitely to rescale and win what was ours, back.

In today’s day and age, a catalyst for simple growth may be a good buy of exposure. Hence, national, and eventually international exposure for the team is prime priority. Exploring the likelihood of docking with sports clubs across the planet and interesting in exchange programs which will facilitate foremost coaching strategies and techniques, and modify our players to possess that edge over the others occupies another important position.

In fact, exposure not solely in terms of the technicalities and therefore the sport in and of itself, however additionally alternative very little, and maybe neglected nuances. for example, diet schemes. Across the world, stalwarts have designed varied diet schemes and charts for various functions and other people. However, in our a part of the planet, we tend to area unit accustomed that one-stop-diet-solution for all functions, for all folks. the concept is to interrupt that! to ask consultants from totally different fields to impart relevant data to our players and provides them simply what they have. additionally on the agenda is pumping in funds and changing it from a not-for-profit organization into a full-fledged company.

I must tell you, we tend to look after the team. And immensely… and therefore we tend to don’t believe holding onto them through mere modes of formalities. not like the standard protocol of language up contracts with players for years along, our contracts area unit shorter and permit for feasibleness and adaptability and thus, naturally result in higher relationships and a stronger team. you would like to play with United States to know that one better!

Signing off hoping that my next note can begin with the precise same line… “I had a dream; a dream that is now a thing of the past"
