The Olympic medal gave me a lot of confidence, and I went and won my first Super Series in Hong Kong. So in that regards, what Rio did was give me extra motivation and the confidence that now anything can happen.
Win or lose, I always focus only on giving my 100%.
My parents have been volleyball players, and my dad is an Arjuna awardee in volleyball.
I train for six days in a week for eight to ten hours of practice per day.
Life has changed both on and off the court after the Rio Olympics medal. I have a lot of confidence on the court now and feel anything is possible. I also feel that I have improved my game. Off the court, I do get recognised more now.
Life has changed after Rio. Winning a silver medal was a huge moment for me. It has come with a lot of responsibilities.
