## About High-Performance Coaching for Athletes & Teams

### What I Do

I don’t do soft. My coaching is all about building tough, high-performing athletes - not just chasing medals, but making you rock-solid for the long run. If you want to be dominant in your sport, you’re in the right place. Performance comes from a solid base, and I build that from scratch.

### How I Coach

I’m obsessed with learning. I watch, test, and tweak everything using sports science-based training for athletes. No guessing - we measure stuff. Kabaddi ko professional banana hai (we have to make Kabaddi professional), so I use research and data for every decision. There’s a system, step by step, and I don’t believe in shortcuts.

### Inside the Program

- Strength & Conditioning: Not just lifting, but training for power and movement. We do plyometrics, functional core work, and force-velocity training for high performance.
- Injury Prevention: I focus on mobility, reactive stability, and eccentric strength. Injury prevention coaching for teams means you stay off the bench and on the field.
- Smart Training: GPS and data drive our sessions. Load management and recovery are tight, so you train hard without burning out.
- Recovery: Breathwork and routines that make recovery an active weapon.
- Team Cohesion: Games and challenges bring everyone together. Sometimes, challenge ye hai ki (the challenge is that) we do wacky relays to break the ice and build morale.

### Who I Work With

- Pro teams (Kabaddi, football, cricket leagues)
- Individual athletes who want one-on-one, science-backed coaching
- Young athletes starting early and hungry to get pro

### The Deal

My goal is to help you thrive. We put in the work, follow the process, and get sharper every day. Theek hai?

## Meet your expert

[Ranjit Nahak](https://mytribe.in/nahak_ranjit)

### My story

Most folks know me as a sports scientist or coach, but truth - I started as an engineer. My path’s been zig-zag. Used to freeze up in public, once stood silent for 3 seconds on stage, felt like forever. Even caught a fever from nerves at a school comp. TEDx? Still nervous, still clenching toes, but didn’t blank out. That’s what I bring to coaching - not just science, but fighting your own limits, bouncing back, finding your stronger self.

### My work

- **High Performance Coaching for Athletes & Teams**: I coach pro athletes in Kabaddi, ISL football, and SA20 cricket. Also do 1-on-1 coaching and workshops.
- **Resilience First, Performance Follows**: I use data-driven athlete training, but focus on building resilience. No bubble-wrap, just real growth.
- **Training Sessions - Hard Work & Fun**: We mix strength and speed drills with team bonding activities like bottle flip challenges. It’s not just heavy lifting.
- **Who I Work With**: Athletes or coaches who want big leaps, not small steps. You gotta be ready to trust the science and push yourself.
