“To compete and stay relevant in the game of one of the biggest sporting events in the country, one has to start young and start smart,” said, Varnit Yadav, Exercise and Nutrition Coach. Talking more about the 13-year-old cricketer, he adds, “For young athletes, a diet rich in high-quality proteins and good carbohydrates is essential. They should focus on developing explosive strength, agility, and core strength early on. Weight training helps improve bone density and overall strength for performance on event day. A well-structured training routine that allows for flexibility during off-seasons is important. Additionally, sleep quality and hydration are crucial at all stages.”
