Quotes
Suresh Singh
Suruchi Phogat's coach and former coach of Manu Bhaker
“In contrast, 10m pistol shooters sometimes took up to one minute for one shot. The more you think, the higher are chances of the mind getting muddled. Sochega toh gadbad karega baccha (the more you think, the greater the chance of a mistake).”

“It looks rushed if you’re not used to it. But it’s actually very efficient and helpful. If you shoot fast, there’s no time for doubt.”

Suruchi Phogat
19-year-old Indian shooter and world number 2 in pistol shooting
“I just pick up the pistol and shoot. I don’t think too much about the final; I just stick to the process.”
