Did you know that a country's GDP is a predictor of performance at the Olympics? Higher income countries have consistently had a higher medal tally as compared to lower income countries. Hear this episode to discover how an organisation is breaking this trend. 

In this episode we celebrate Viren Rasquinha. Viren Rasquinha is an Indian hockey player. He is the former captain of the Indian hockey team and was a member of the team that finished 7th at the Athens Olympics in 2004. He pursued management studies and now is the CEO of an organisation called Olympic Gold Quest that is on a journey to build future Olympic champions. 

We speak about his journey of pursuing sports professionally, getting selected into the Indian team, playing at the Olympics. He speaks of his failures as defining learning moments. We then spoke of how Olympic Goal Quest is on a mission to beat the statistics and deliver on identifying and providing world class training for high performance sports. Listen to the episode to learn more about how Olympic Gold Quest has contributed to almost ~50% of the medals India won at the Tokya Olympics.
