𝗜𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝗮 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘇 𝗩𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲 😊) Excited to share the story of Dilip, a young school student from a humble background with the potential to become a world champion. The story depicts what goes into creating a champion, much before the records are made or broken. Like many future champions, his journey is filled with barriers that he must overcome. At Sportz Village, we often encounter such talent, working with schools and students all across India.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭… 😊 In a rare twist of fiction being followed by reality, our campaign ‘It Takes a Village to Create Champions’, featuring the ‘cricketing misfit’ Dilip, now mirrors the real-life journey of Sri Lankan javelin thrower Rumesh Tharanga - a former aspiring cricketer who found his true calling in athletics. While our story is a work of fiction reflecting our work in schools and communities across India, it now finds an uncanny reflection in real life - a resemblance both coincidental and magical. 📰 Read Rumesh’s journey featured in Sportstar: https://lnkd.in/dUFyCfVb 🎬 Watch our film that follows Dilip, a young student from a humble background, on his path to greatness: https://lnkd.in/dJrvfrKf Join us in creating champions: www.sportzvillage.com Sportz Village | Sportz Village Foundation | EduSports | Sportz Village Xp | Infinite Sports UAE | Sportstar | M&C Saatchi Group Saumil Majmudar | Upma J. | Nishant Parvataneni | Raghu Bhat | Hozefa Alibhai | Ayon Sengupta | Jonathan Selvaraj #CreatingChampionsInLife #EduSports #SportsDevelopment #TalentIdentification #Sportsforall #GrassrootSports #SchoolSports
