Someone should have spoken out and taken action against the corrupt government. That happened from our generation Gen-G. The protest took a disastrous turn, which no one could have imagined or wanted. But in my opinion it had to be, so that something good would come out of it.
After suffering such great losses, now our country is expected to move towards a new direction as this generation hopes. Like the light, golden and beautiful morning after heavy rain and storm.
Nepal's sports sector must also undergo significant transformation for improvement, if it wants to bring good results in the future. Favoritism has always been the biggest problem in our sports field. Each player should be selected based on their ability and not on their favourites.
Similarly, we lack foresight and continuity. Transparency and a good foundation that can sustain life should be provided. Otherwise, we all know how those who are considered our national pride are leaving the country to improve their living standards. So I don't want to be someone who is forced to leave another country. Hopefully, sports and athletes will be treated equally by the concerned bodies.
As a representative of our Gen-G generation, I represent a future that respects responsibility and demands justice. I am committed to my duties. However, I will continue to fight hard for the changes we deserve. I have participated in few international competitions so far. Each time that experience has been a journey of learning and self-realization. The biggest lesson I learned is where Nepal really stands on the world playing field.
When I see players from other countries, they enter the field fully prepared with all the facilities and with great confidence. And we feel how far behind we are. It sometimes feels painful from inside the mind and affects the mentality as well. However, despite this, we enter the field. Even with our limited resources, we fight with all our strength, soul and sweat. Let's show the world, Nepal is also there. We compete with determination and pride.
If today we are able to play at this level even with such few facilities, then think, what kind of success would we achieve if we had the right training, nutritious diet, competent coach and suitable environment? I strongly believe, we will not only compete, we will win and give a historic medal to the nation.
But to fulfill that dream, change is inevitable. The thinking of those in power must be changed. There should be an end to favoritism, discrimination and arbitrariness in the field of sports. Coach selection is a serious decision related to the future of the player. It should not be based on favoritism or familiarity, but on the basis of ability, dedication and international level knowledge. Coaches can guide players in the right direction only if they are aware, competent and dedicated.
I really sincerely want to say, this change should not be delayed any longer. The playing field should also be cleaned, the deserving players should be given the support they think they deserve. Only then Nepali sports will be brighter and we can proudly show it to the world. Nepal is not only a participant but also a winner nation. Nisha Darnal, National Taekwondo player
