Reliance Foundation
founder and chairperson Nita M Ambani has urged Indian athletes competing at
the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya to compete with courage and joy, saying
their performances can inspire an entire generation.
In a message to Team
India, Ambani said the athletes carry with them the hopes and good wishes of
the entire nation and emphasised that their journey is about more than winning
medals.
“My dear athletes of Team India, as you step
onto one of Asia’s biggest sporting stages, remember that you carry with you
the hopes and good wishes of an entire nation. Compete with courage, compete
with joy, because what you do can go far beyond winning a medal,” she said.
“One opportunity can transform a life. One
performance can inspire a dream. One athlete can inspire an entire generation.
This is your moment. Make it count. The entire nation is cheering for you,”
Ambani added.
Reliance Foundation’s
campaign for the Games celebrates the power of opportunity and the belief that
every child deserves a chance to reach the starting line before dreaming of
reaching the finish line.
The campaign
underlines how a single opportunity can change the course of a young life,
while athletes who receive that opportunity can go on to inspire millions and
make the country proud.
As many as 48
athletes supported by Reliance Foundation are competing across nine sports at
the Asian Games, including leading Indian sporting stars such as Lovlina
Borgohain, Tejaswin Shankar, Sreeshankar Murali, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and
Chirag Shetty.
Reliance Foundation is also a sponsor of Team India and supports athletes both on and off the field.
Its Sir H N Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre's Sports Medicine team, including physiotherapists, is part of the Indian contingent and is providing medical and physiotherapy support to the athletes during the Games.
