Target must be to fulfill potential: Geet Sethi
Ace cueist Geet Sethi suggested that OGQ allowed senior elite athletes to make their own decisions regarding their careers and goals. "The targets for athletes are that they need to fulfill their potential. They are senior athletes and they have their own targets so I don't think it's for us to define them," the 54-year-old said.
"For us the targets are that there should be no requirements of theirs that remains unfulfilled," the multiple world champion explained.
"A lot is being done by the government and sports ministry. If there is a small little gap, we come in and fill it," he added.
Sethi, another of the founders of OGQ, said the body would slowly look to make its foray into more sports. 'We have recently taken on Maana Patel, a swimmer. While we have defined six disciplines where India have traditionally been good and have a huge talent pool, that does not mean we will not take in an athlete who does not figure in these six disciplines. We will support anybody who is exceptional and needs support," he said.
