Life wasn’t easy - lot of kashta, but kabaddi kept me going. That first Karnataka jersey, I still get goosebumps. 1998 Asian Games, gold medal, me as vice-captain - what a day! Arjuna Award in 2000, felt like all those tough days meant something. I owe it to every coach, every teammate. Dreams do come true, with guts and discipline. ### My work - **Kabaddi Coaching for All Levels**: We train juniors to pros at Honnappa Kabaddi Academy, plus guide other coaches too. - **Hands-On Training Style**: We focus on kabaddi front charge coaching and inside charge kabaddi skills. I always say, 'ಆ ಜಂಪ್ ಹೊಡಿಯೋಗ ನೀನು ಕೈ ಸಪೋರ್ಟ್ ತಗೋಬೇಕು' (use hand support when you jump). - **Discipline & Teamwork First**: Kabaddi is a legacy, not just a game. I teach respect for the sport, not just winning. - **Future Champions Welcome**: Looking for kids with real junoon for kabaddi, whether just starting or already playing. ## Book To book C Honnappa Gowda, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20C%20Honnappa%20Gowda.)
