DEAR READERS,
I am delighted to announce that Sports Science India Fanzine has turned one with all your love and blessings. I would take this opportunity to thank all our readers, writers and critics for their consistent support and encouragement that help us to churn out quality content, specific to the world of sports and sports science. As I look back, it has been an enriching journey so far as the editor of the magazine, which has carved a niche for itself within a short span of time. In a year’s time, we have been able to reach out to readers in different parts of the world. Moreover, our writers and contributors come from different nations with the common agenda of spreading awareness on sports science and tracking the latest developments and advancements in this domain. The innovative articles and topics discussed in Fanzine have caught the attention of the who’s who of the sports medicine world. I am glad to share that Fanzine had also become a part of the mega conference on strength and conditioning in Munich organized by National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) global chapter in its first year. I would also like to thank our sponsors and advertisers who have always kept faith in our work. Without their support, we wouldn’t have been able to continue our work smoothly. The 12th edition of Fanzine highlights the basics of football training with tips from a head coach in Algeria. We have paid tribute to India’s first individual Olympic medal winner, KD Jadhav, by dedicating an article on his life and works. Our guest column is a flashback of the ‘fatal bouncer’ that injured and ended the test career of Indian
cricketer from the yesteryears, Nari Contractor. There are articles on strength and conditioning and sports science as well. We wish our readers a happy reading experience.
