Olympic gold-medallist shooter Abhinav Bindra on Thursday requested all those who are part of the sports ecosystem to treat athletes like human beings and not medal-winning robots.


Indian athletes’ recent success in major international competitions including the Olympics, Asian and Commonwealth Games has not just raised the status of sportspersons it has also increased the pressure of expectations on them.


“The first and foremost job is to treat athletes as human beings and not to keep conditioning them as medal-winning robots. Building trust and relationships with the athletes is very important,” Bindra said in a virtual interaction with sports psychologists at the Karni Singh Shooting Range here.
