Standing still, or the shooter episode with Dr Digpal Ranawat
It's not just his Olympic gold. Abhinav Bindra has been a pioneer when it comes to sports science in India as well. He is the first of our athletes who immersed himself in the best practices followed globally and who advocated for it tirelessly. It eventually resulted in the Abhinav Bindra Targeting Performance or ABTP centres that are spread across India, equipped with the finest technology and knowhow when it comes to sports science. On this episode, the director of ABTP, who was also Bindra's personal physio during his shooting days, speaks about the importance of training and recovery in shooting and the kind of stress that the body goes through trying to hold an unnatural posture with complete stiffness for hours. You thought standing still was easy?
