IAS officer and two-time Paralympics silver medallist Suhas said, "Your mind is your greatest friend and your greatest enemy. Whether its an exam, life's challenges, nervous energy is something that everyone experiences."
Boxing great Mary Kom speaking about the expectations said, "In the beginning it was very difficult because boxing is not considered a women's sport. It was challenging for me.

Two-time Paralympic champion shooter Avani added, "We fear things that we don’t have knowledge about. I started gaining knowledge and improving myself, and in this way, my fear gradually decreased."
