Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian

  • just yesterday i met the 'boxing coach' of Ruia college, and she says 'strength training' is NOT REQUIRED for boxers. (Ok, so maybe mike tyson and sergio mora and lennox lewis just go and weight train to play tele tubbies.) Then she says that supplementation is not required for boxers - they can just have regular food (that too not protein rich enough). And unfortunately, i spotted talent in one of her students - who is a state level boxer. But i fear for the future of that boy when he is being moulded by such hands. All his talent is going to go to waste within a period of 3-5 years. This is the sorry state of our country and its talent pool of athletes.

    • Raviraj Wade i agree with you ... But HOW DARE YOU TAKE RUIA COLLEGE KA NAME  ... take this ..Dhishkyaaav
    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian i named the college cause i want someone who knows the management of the college to take action towards saving that athlete's future. Appoint dumb college coaches to save money, no problems. But when you have genuine athletic talent, please give it PROFESSIONAL assistance. this is a plea for help. for that boy. and for so many athletes in this country whose career gets wrapped up in a few short years at the national levels itself - despite having the talent to make it big worldwide.
    • Ian Reginald Fernandes Student galat hota hai, institution nahi. Even Kaizzad sir was an ex-student of Ruia
    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian i know that Ian Reginald Fernandes . even this lady is a k-11 passout. but clearly she hasn't learnt anything from there. "deepak taley andheraa". reminds me of all the idiotic Indians who try to sneak foods into airports and ruin the name of the country. they dont represent India, but coz their stupidity gets noticed, they become the face of India.
    • Ramakrishnan Nadar Ur right sir most of the coaches are like that only.
    • Rohon Nag Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian you really aught to have met the guy they appointed as our so called coach... he knew NOTHING about fitness or basketball or any sports. all he did was the morning PT, which was next to pointless... 

      fortunately my school figured it out, and fired him in a couple of months!
    • Jyotsna Robert BUT V CANNOT FORGET O M NAMBIAR WHO COACHED P.T.USHA........SO V DO HV PPL LIKE HIM TOO....
    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian Less than 10 noteworthy Olympic athletes in more than 50 years on independence and despite being the worlds second most populated country????? That's shameful in itself. And Tht says a lot for itself. No point is just randomly dragging in PT usha and milkha Singh in every sport discussion - that's all we have been doing for the past 20 years.

    • Prashant Satyam i agree with her on the supplementation part. no offence though, u know the side effects better. and why consume in your college days?

    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian @prashant satyam: then sorry to say, but you are as ignorant a moron as most Indians are. Supplementation is 'added nutrition'. To supplement means to add to your basic. It's like an exam answer paper- you have no right taking an answer paper if you ha...See More

    • Prashant Satyam lol. okay so for ur kind information and for u being so hyper unnecessarily, im a 4 time national level handball player, with even once being the captain of u-19 maharashtra, 8 state level tournaments 4 times from raigad 4 times from mumbai suburb. got selected for u-15 india camp and represented india at an international handall tournaments held at spain,sweden,denmark. and it wasnt just handball. i hold the raigad district record in long jump with 4.56 mts in u-15 category and went to participate at zonals level at pune. had started playing basketball lately in xaviers and were 2nd in the mumbai university.
    • Apurva Moré ... and still you have all the false myths about supplements... >.>
    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian That just goes to show the levels of ignorance in the country
    • Prashant Satyam i have lost the count of how many coaches i have tackled in my entire sports life. around 5-6 who i still think are the best at india level. none have ever supported supplements. they said nothing to be taken before ur growing period ends.. i hope u know what i mean by that. and boss if u say supplement has no side effects, u are ignorant as any other wanna be body builder.
    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian Showing the river to a arrogant frog in a well is a waste of time. Talk to me when you are wiser. But by that time more morons like you will be brainwashed by stupid coaches who don't know shit and are as arrogant and stupid as you are right now. This is the exact mentality that coach had. Arrogance breeds stupidity, stupidity breeds its own eventual failure.

    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian And btw, you, just like most Indian athletes, will burn out by 23-25 purely because of the wrong guidance you have been given and the arrogantly stupid know it all attitude you have developed. You want to know about pro basketball, ask Chirag Boghani and @suneeth Sebastian. They'll tell you what it takes to turn pro in basketball.

    • Apurva Moré which is why it is hard to win medals in olympics in spite of being the 2nd largest country in the world. The ones training the fresh talent are so far behind in knowledge, science and technology. Majority of trainers in India have no clue or knowledge about research in fitness and wellbeing...
    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian And just btw, supplements are advised only to athletes above 18. And that is because of the FDA ignorance regarding usage of sugar substitutes. The boxers I met were 20+
    • Ramakrishnan Nadar I been in Indian camp the year of 2008.that was commonwealth games selection camp. Diet ws very bad. Pre workout Tea and biscuit post workout Whitbread butter and jam and 4eggs.
    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian Ramakrishnan Nadar And That's how they screw up the athletic potential of the country. Babus and politicians and arrogant idiots who become coaches ruin te future of all potential before it can peak. The benefits of science and technology and knowledge are reaped only by sports that enjoy financial benefits - and in India, that's cricket unfortunately.

    • Apurva Moré and bollywood
    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian Oh yeah, and Bollywood. All those 'athletic looking' bodies that people wonder why they never get despite 'working out hard' for years. Rofl
    • Ramakrishnan Nadar Even they don't have proper equipment. For javelin throw we have to use Aerodynamic javelin but they giving local aluminium javelin.
    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian That is the second largest problem faced by our athletes, lack of funding for athlete training facilities. And over funding for malls and fast food places. I'm sure Anil Mishra can identify with this problem. He runs the athletic programme for Indian gymnasts.
    • Rohon Nag I loved the ignorance shown by Prashant Satyam..... it just shows, why its important for pushky and neulife to educate people about nutrition and supplements.

      people think its ONLY for bodybuilders, or for super duper mad fitness freaks...

      sure an athlete can perform after eating bread and eggs and paneer and crap, but does he or she perform well ?
    • Rohon Nag I wish ignorant sports persons would take their heads out of their asses and smell the fire of their own muscles and bodies giving up after a certain age.... I am no fitness professional, nor a builder or a athlete, but the benefits of training, knowledge and nutrition are abundantly clear to me!
    • Anil Mishra you said it Pushkaraj. After decades of hard work and sacrifice, we rose to win at Commonwealth and Asian Games, but we still were in oblivion because entire India was focused instead on Sachin's 100th 100...
      I have to struggle so much to put across even the minutest points to the smartest guys...
    • Indrajeet Keer Trying to change this scenario.....introduced necessary and dopefree proteins to my boxer studnts and also to other boxers in our fraternity.....

    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian Indrajeet Keer great going. It's just a start. We have a huge battle ahead. I'm looking at indians dominating the Olympics within a few decades - but it's a far away dream. Catch up sometime, we need people who can think, learn, improvise and lead.

    • Indrajeet Keer Yup. Surely. Every boxer wants to be Manny Pacquio, mayweather....but nobody wants to follow the disciplines and diet supplements that the above mentioned legends did...and thats what turns a amateur athlete into professional one....
    • Pushkaraj Shirke Credosian its not just about supplements - the indian ignorance drama includes lack of scientific training protocols, basic nutrition protocols, rest and recovery and a HUGE BANK OF ARROGANCE AND IGNORANCE - coming for people who have become 'coaches' because they were too dumb to be anything else in life. We need coaches, trainers and mentors who manage the sport ad athletes and guide them with true knowledge, dedication and passion - not just becuse they are doing a job that nobody else wanted to do and was the best they could get. i tear my hair out in frustration everytime i meet an idiot who's a coach - and i swear im going to turn bald soon at this rate.
