Champions behind the scenes

In the world of sports, the spotlight often shines brightly on the players—their victories, their skills, and their relentless pursuit of excellence. Often, we forget that every champion is shaped by a team of dedicated individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes. These unsung heroes—coaches, supporting staff, and management—play a crucial role in turning raw talent into polished performance.

While athletes shine on the field, their journey is paved by those who guide, mentor, and support them every step of the way. Coaches bring out the best in their players, helping them hone their skills, build resilience, and reach new heights. The supporting staff ensures that every need is met, from physical therapy to strategic planning. The management orchestrates the logistics, creating an environment where players only focus on their game and nothing else.

Sports initiatives undertaken by the Anil Agarwal Foundation are building a comprehensive and supportive ecosystem that helps elevate talent at every level. The Sesa Football Academy provides young athletes with top-notch training and resources, focussing on their holistic development. These programs are designed to identify and nurture potential, giving aspiring athletes the tools they need to excel.

The young players at our archery training centres, led Vedanta Limited Lanjigarh and ESL Steel Limited, are already aiming to represent the country in the Olympics and other international championships, all thanks to the coaches and the management for encouraging them to aim high.

We invest in state-of-the-art facilities that support both athletes and their coaches. The F-Cube Technology at the Zinc Football Academy helps coaches stay at the forefront of training techniques and strategies, ensuring they can offer the best guidance to their athletes.

We are committed to not just celebrating the champions but also acknowledging the crucial roles played by those who help them reach their peak. As we honour our athletes’ achievements, we also recognise and thank the coaches, staff, and management whose contributions are integral to their success.

We are not just building champions on the field; we are fostering a supportive ecosystem that celebrates every role in the journey to greatness.
