Yesterday, we had an incredibly interactive and inspiring session with the renowned Dr. Vasanth Kumar, Founder of Fitness.Inc and India’s first Sports Scientist!


Dr. Vasanth Kumar expertly cleared all doubts and shared invaluable insights on the science of sleep, recovery, and sports performance—empowering adaptive sports persons with disabilities to train smarter and perform stronger.


Highlights:

• Participants included athletes with hearing impairment, visual impairment, locomotor disabilities, as well as mothers of sports persons with intellectual disabilities and special educators.

• Practical tips on improving recovery and injury prevention.

• Engaging Q&A session with Dr. Vasanth Kumar.

• Nithya provided excellent sign language interpretation, ensuring full inclusion and communication access.

Special Thanks

A heartfelt thank you to:

• Mr. David and the entire team at Vijayapark Hotel, Arumbakkam, Chennai, for their very good hospitality.

Together, we are breaking barriers and building champions!

 
 
 

At our recent swimming camp, we welcomed participants, including some who are deaf. Nithya Giri , our sign language interpreter, provided interpretation right in the water, fostering an inclusive environment for all swimmers.

I observed that our coach quickly adapted to train participants with diverse requirements, demonstrating that inclusivity in sports is entirely achievable. This adaptability mirrors what I’ve seen in our filmmaking courses, where instructors also embrace diverse learning needs.

Initially, deaf participants relied on the interpreter for guidance, but as the training progressed, they began to engage directly with the coach, even when the interpreter was not present. This evolution highlights that training individuals with diverse needs is not only possible but can lead to greater independence and confidence.

As we continue to break down barriers in swimming, we celebrate the diverse experiences that enrich our community.
