Adarsh Singh

General
NATIONAL TEAM RETURN
At the end of 2019 he lost his place on both the senior and junior Indian squads after a dip in form. In March 2020 he moved his base from Faridabad to Pune in India and began working with coach Ronak Pandit. "When I look at things in retrospect, I realise that when you are in the team, you sort of lose track of many important things like mental health and realistic targets. The whole of 2019, I tried to chase the Tokyo Olympics quota. I shot in every match, including seven international tournaments, and over-trained. I didn't realise that while shooting non-stop, I didn't spare time to check the faults in my technique and also my mental health. The whole thing left me disturbed. There is a small fear of losing your place in the squad. I had a bad match at a couple of tournaments and the bad scores threw me out of the team. I then realised that I had a lot of work to do and the break was meant to be." (timesofindia, 08 Oct 2021)
