The Story in Brief
Neeraj Chopra and Pullela Gopichand have joined hands to launch the Indian School of Coaching Excellence, a new initiative aimed at improving the quality of coaching in the country. Chopra, who recently won a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, stressed the need for a robust ecosystem to develop and nurture quality coaching talent.

Backroom coaches rarely get the credit they deserve, yet this move rightly shifts focus to them. Too often Indian sports talk only about star athletes and ignore the system that produces them. The real test will be whether this school produces tangible results, more qualified coaches in district-level academies, not just another certificate course. Will state federations actually hire its graduates? That is the metric to watch.
