Shuttler’s Flick: Making Every Match Count

Badminton in India changed shape around a small number of people, and Pullela Gopichand is one of them. Shuttler's Flick: Making Every Match Count traces his move from competitive player to national coach. Written with Priya Kumar, the book sets personal recollection beside the practical thinking behind an academy: how training is structured, what discipline actually costs, and how a coach reads a player's temperament as closely as their technique. Motivational reflection runs through it without displacing the sporting detail. What shapes this book: • The playing and coaching career of a leading Indian badminton figure • Co-authored reflections on discipline, focus and setbacks • Insight into how competitive athletes are trained and supported • A blend of sports biography and motivational writing Sports followers, aspiring players and coaches will find plenty to take from this title, available at Boipoka.
