Mathias Boe: You need to be a bit selfish to succeed

The Hindu  

Indian badminton saw a wonderful high in doubles this year with Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty breaking new ground. Satwik and Chiraj have a good chance of winning a medal, so they will feel the pressure a little bit more,” said Boe, the former men’s doubles World No. “Mentally, we will try and prepare the most but at the end of the day, it is how they handle the pressure that will matter.” ACES POPULAR CHOICE AWARDS | VOTING OPEN NOW - The 42-year-old from Denmark, now in Kochi on a short holiday with his relatives, feels anybody from the world’s top eight or 10 pairs are capable of winning in Paris. So instead of looking at them with a ‘hey, I want to beat them, become better than them,’ attitude, they are a little bit like, ‘I can’t beat them, so what am I practising for’,” said Boe who won the men’s doubles silver at the 2012 London Olympics. “I need to try and push them a little bit more.” He is impressed with javelin thrower Kishore Jena’s attitude and feels players need to be a bit selfish to succeed.
