Nuggets On
sport

Accomplished sportsmen like Vishy Anand, Viren Rasquinha and Vijay Amritraj talk about how they thought about Sport as a career. It can be a low-odds profession and it is critical to be thoughtful about taking the plunge and committing fully to Sport. 

Committing to sports as a career

Getting into professional sport can be a “low odds” decision often. If one doesn’t have the financial buffer, it is often tempting to go towards the safer option to pursue education and get a job. Viren talks candidly about how he comes from a family with no prior sports background and how he navigated some of these questions during the points of inflection when he had to take a call.
