Rising Sports Stars of India - Vaibhav Chaturvedi!

"Try Me", I addressed my biggest opponent in life, my physical challenges. 💪

I was born with clubfoot 👣 and couldn't stand or walk like other kids. 😔 For many years, I had to walk with iron shoes to cure the deformity. 🦿 But, my passion and determination for sports made all the obstacles look blurred. 🏃‍♂️ Despite my physical limitations, I began participating in cricket 🏏 and athletics in school. I, even, won a Silver medal 🥈 in an inter-school running competition. 🏃‍♂️

Sports have taught me to expand my capabilities and excel beyond the limits. 🚀 And that has led me to Shaolin Kung Fu. 🥋 My quest has finally met the purpose of my life. 🙏 I have trained myself in Shaolin Kung Fu and Karate for about four years. 🥋 With time, I got cured of clubfoot. 🙌 Very soon, I started taking part in the competitions. 🏅 One after the other, I have secured three Gold medals 🥇🥇🥇 at the district, state, and national levels. I also won a Bronze medal 🥉 at the 'India Open International Karate Championship'. 🏆 However, representing my country 🇮🇳 at a competition in Malaysia 🇲🇾 was the proudest moment for me. 😊

I wanted to evolve more. Currently, I'm learning various combat forms such as military tactical combat and self-defense. 🥊

Simultaneously, I aspire to learn leadership skills, and joining sports management at IISM has opened that door to me. 🎓 Balancing academics with intense training has taught me discipline, time management, and resilience. 💪 I am determined to excel in the sports business and achieve milestones in the days to come. 🏆
