What Google Won’t Tell You podcast: Murali Sreeshankar on long jump, basketball, speed cubing and sacrificing his beloved parotta
The HinduIn this episode of What Google Won’t Tell You, Jonathan Selvaraj and Ipsit Mohapatra speak to Asian Championships and Commonwealth Games silver medal-winning long jumper Murali Sreeshankar. He doesn’t have to say anything like get ready for the evening, or get good sleep or eat at this time because I am programmed that way from a very young age, so now everything is kind of a default Ipsit: Sree,you must have seen your dad’s tracks and shoes, spikes and all that. So planning has to be done very properly and I’m very happy with the way Dad plans my all the competitions, all the training programs and this time around, we had to skip a lot of competitions, like the one in Greece, one in the US, so that I’m not exerting too much during the competition and getting the right training at the right time. Jonathan: Is it something that can get, you have been through this situation three times now, so it something you can eventually overcome or is it sometime it work sometime it doesn’t, it’s that sort of a Thing Sreeshankar: I think with more experience and becoming more mature I’ll get past this because now I believe that I’m in a good position to give a good performance in the world championship so I need not take that kind of stress in the qualifying round. Also, so that is one person who always focuses on having this kind of discipline, and now I’m pretty much used to that kind of routine like by default everything is falling according to my training schedule, how he says and how we want to chart out things like taking rest before the training session, post-training recovery methodologies, sleep and everything.
