### My story

Log bolte hain ki har accha cricketer accha coach nahi banta, par maine try kiya hai. Main ek simple ghar se hoon, cricket ka junoon bachpan se tha. 2008 mein Rajasthan Royals ke liye khela, IPL jeeta, Shane Warne ne bola main bada leg spinner ban sakta hoon. Legends ke saath khelke jo sikha, wo priceless hai. Academy shuru ki taki mere jaise ladke, talent wale, bina chance ke na rahein. Sapna hai - ek din mera bachha India ke liye khele, main stadium mein usko dekhun.

### My work

- **Cricket coaching for all**: Personal training, group sessions, net practice, summer and monsoon cricket camps, real tournament exposure.
- **Fitness comes first**: Agility drills, running, fitness training - baarish ho ya dhoop, practice kabhi nahi rukti.
- **Natural pitch cricket training**: Real ground, asli maidan, potholes bhi milenge. Yahan match ki asli feeling aati hai.
- **Practice is key**: Roz aao, mehnat karo. Practice se hi farq padta hai, perfect hone ka pressure nahi.
- **Middle-class cricket coaching**: Zyada tar bachhe middle-class family se. Talent ho toh darwaza khula hai, process aur hard work pe bharosa.
