They wrote their comeback #growth #motivation
A young badminton/tennis player recounts repeatedly losing to the same doubles pair across multiple All India Ranking tournaments. Frustrated by the consecutive losses, the speaker and their doubles partner wrote a letter to their coach Vimal Sir declaring their commitment to work harder and win next time, describing it as an act of manifestation.
Summary
The speaker reflects on a formative experience from their youth in doubles sports competition. They were partnered with a doubles partner and coached by someone referred to as Vimal Sir. During a period of All India Ranking Tournaments, they suffered consecutive losses — two to three times — against the same opposing pair, which deeply frustrated the speaker given their strong aversion to losing even as a child.
The emotional weight of these repeated defeats prompted the speaker and their doubles partner to take a proactive and emotionally driven step: they wrote a letter to their coach Vimal Sir expressing their commitment to work harder and their determination to beat that pair the next time. The speaker describes this act of writing down their intention as akin to manifestation — a conscious declaration of their goals that went beyond just verbal commitment and was put into written form for accountability.
