New Delhi: Fully aware that a small lapse in concentration can cost one a medal in any target sport, the Archery Association of India now plans to include yoga sessions in training to build archers' mental strength and give them the best-possible podium chance in Rio Olympics.
It is not the first time Indian archers will get to work on the mental aspect of the game as in April earlier this year some top archers underwent a 15-day government sponsored stint with US-based tennis player-turned-mental trainer Lorenzo Beltrame, who worked with some elite tennis stars including Jim Courier, Pete Sampras, Aranxta Sanchez-Vicario, Jennifer Capriati, Monica Seles and Leander Paes.
