Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi Malik has stressed the need to have coaches and a skilled support staff?accompany for major tournaments.Sakshi, who created history at the recently concluded Rio Olympic Games by becoming the first Indian woman to win a medal in wrestling, said its a miracle that Indian athletes bring back medals in spite of not having the adequate back room staff.Not having your coach at the games makes a huge difference. Even the physio and doctor. We need a lot of things while there, we get injured, we get tired. And without a coach you cant perform the same way at a major event. A number of our athletes are sent to events, but coaches are not. Theyve been with us for so many years, they know our shortcomings, so to not have them at the games, it certainly affects our performance and our chances to bring back medals.Sakshi also said theres a lot India can learn from some of the international women wrestlers, their training and work ethic. She singled out the example of Japan, who went on to secure Gold in the same event, 58 kg freestyle.The Japanese wrestlers have been my inspiration. The main thing is that they are extraordinarily disciplined. And quiet, too. Their coaches are so disciplined themselves. They look into the smallest of details, how much their athletes eat, what they eat, where they sit, they look into every movement of their athlete. If we can replicate that level of discipline, it can only help us. Our girls are disciplined, but nothing like in comparison to them.In comparison, Sakshi lamented the lack of such professional support staff for the Indian athletes.We were just given supplements in Rio, but no one told us what has to be taken when, and in what dosage. We need that kind of detailed guidance when were at the Games. I saw the other athletes get it and it makes a huge difference.Sakshi also said that the pressure is only going to increase after the massive media coverage surrounding her medal win and the subsequent rewards and remuneration shes been accorded.Theres no doubt the pressure and expectation will increase now. Nobody knew about me before Rio 2016. Now everyones talking about me. So the pressure has multiplied doubly or triply even. But its my job now to overcome this pressure, work on my shortcomings from this Olympics, and perform even better at Tokyo 2020.Gary Zimmerman Broncos Jersey . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama.

The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast.TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama coach Nick Saban said he was almost embarrassed by his performance, and the Crimson Tide players were equally critical of themselves even after a four-touchdown victory.Clearly, No. 1 `Bama is its own harshest critic, which wasnt necessarily the case after last seasons loss to the next opponent, No. 19 Mississippi (1-1). The Tide (2-0) handled heavy underdog Western Kentucky 38-10 Saturday but found plenty to grumble about.That included a fumble that set up the Hilltoppers last-minute touchdown when the game was long ago decided.Thats bad ball, and thats bad football, Saban said. Thats not the kind of football we want to play here, and thats not the kind of football team we want to have. I dont know that Ive ever been this disappointed after winning a game, maybe ever.After an opening 52-6 thrashing of USC, Saban found a way to keep his team humble even in another lopsided win. He pointed out the plentiful flaws in the performance.The Tide committed 12 penalties, for one thing. A couple of dropped passes could have been touchdowns. Western Kentucky receiver Taywan Taylor had a 59-yard catch on a flea flicker to set up a first-half field goal.Theres a lot of lessons to be learned from this so hopefully well learn them before its too late, linebacker Ryan Anderson said. He said `Bama teams during his career who just tried to win, instead of aiming to dominate, didnt accomplish anything.But he figures words alone wont fix any problems.Talking never solved anything, Anderson said. Talking wont win us a game. Weve got to go out there and do it. Weve got to get better. Weve got to work harder.ddddddddddddThe 28-point win wasnt a total loss.Freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts passed for 287 yards and two touchdowns. Receivers Calvin Ridley and ArDarius Stewart had huge games, and the defense allowed 23 rushing yards on 22 attempts.Still, Saban didnt think his players heeded his weeklong message about guarding against arrogance and respecting the opponent.When youre arrogant, it makes you complacent and it creates a blatant disregard for doing things right, Saban said. If we dont start doing things right, were not going to have the kind of success that were capable of. So, well certainly focus on that. Its all my responsibility. We need to get the job done better. Im almost embarrassed that I didnt do a better job for my team.If it indeed was a wakeup call, it came at just the right time. Ole Miss is the only team to beat Alabama in each of the past two regular seasons and the Tide drew some heat for its mistake-filled performance last season.The Tide rebounded to win the national title. This time, the ones issuing the harsh critiques are the Tide players and Saban themselves.You cant pay attention to the media and the news and this and that because theyll make you seem like youre the greatest team in the world, defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick said. Youve got to really focus on whats going on within the team and what youre doing and youve got to play your best every day and bring it every time.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
