Once every four years, the country submerges itself into the passion of sports and Olympics. Sportspersons are idolized, new heroes are born, kids are asked to join sports academies in hope of becoming the next sporting icon and what not. But what we fail to understand is that mastering any sport is not a process that can be completed in a few days. In fact, even 4 years aren't enough to produce world class champions.
Building a world-beating sportsperson is a long and tedious process that must begin from the childhood itself. The sports culture in schools, therefore plays a significant role in deciding whether the kid would go on to become a top quality sportspersons or not. But little has been done in respect of sports education in the country.
Though almost absent at the school level, sports education is making its presence felt at the higher education level in the country. A number of high quality colleges have come up in the country and offer world class sports education to the students. Some of India's best sports colleges are given below Ã
