Interview with Baroda Badshahs captain Harman Mann
1) How is the training going on for Season 2?
First of all, I have been training very hard and it’s going very good. As you know, I have been out of form for some time. But this time I am very confident in myself and I will be performing very well in Season 2.
2) How was your experience in Season 1?
The first season has experience was very good. It was something that was beyond our expectations. I had never thought that something like this would happen for the sport of Armwrestling and that we would be on TV. We used to watch TV and now people are watching us on TV.
3) What was your most memorable incident from season 1?
The most memorable incident for me was to be on television and also sharing the same stage as Shri Suniel Shetty Ji and also being able to spend time with the league owner and bollywood celebrity Parvin Dabas Sir and Preeti Jhangiani Ma’am.
4) What would you comment on your team’s performance in Season 1?
The performance of the team was very poor in the first season and there was some lack in coordination, which wont happen in Season 2. Another reason was some athletes didn’t expect the league to be organised in this big manner. Now the mindset of the armwrestlers have changed and now the armwrestlers know about their level at which they stand.
5) What are the changes that you want to see your team make in Season 2?
The things that we need to improve in second season is the coordination between the players and tell each players to play to their strength and I have no doubt that our team will perform well.
