The academy will reportedly have over eight badminton courts which will be built with the best of the materials comparable only to the Olympic standard courts. In addition, there will be a 10000-plus adience, gym and physio centre and a dedicated centre for practising meditation and yoga.
“I am honoured to have this facility named after me. Pursuing a sport is much needed for the all-round development of an individual. At competitive levels, it is very challenging, and sportspersons need to remain fit not just physically but also emotionally and mentally,” Sindhu said as quoted by IANS.
“It’s not enough to be able to regain the centre in the court after every shot, but it’s more important to remain centred in the mind irrespective of what is happening around. This is the real game-changer. The experience of Heartfulness meditation over last one year has brought a tremendous difference to my abilities to remain focused in the moment,” she added.
