About

Kabaddi for me is junoon - not just a game I played, but something that shaped who I am. After years captaining India, my focus is on you: the next line of Kabaddi coaches who’ll take this sport forward. I want to help create coaches who build strong teams and even stronger people.

What We’ll Dive Into

• My approach is simple: pehle Kabaddi, phir sab kuch (Kabaddi first, everything else later).
• We’ll work together on real coaching challenges - not just tactics, but how to build and protect a positive team culture.
• I’ll share what I've learned about managing emotions under pressure, and how to deal with aggression the right way.
• We’ll talk openly about the coach’s responsibility as a role model - good sportsmanship isn’t optional.

How We’ll Build Your Edge

• I’ll show you my drills and methods from international play, including how to set up a Kabaddi training program design that actually works.
• We’ll cover both offense and defense skills, and how to make practice sessions effective for everyone - juniors to pros.
• You get one-on-one feedback tailored to your coaching style, with honest talk about what’s working and what’s not.

What Matters Most

Coaching Kabaddi is about more than winning matches. It’s about building himmat (courage) and discipline in every player, and in yourself. I want you to leave this mentorship ready to shape champions - on and off the mat.
