The Amicus also raised concerns regarding the sensitivity and awareness among the youth regarding the sports and sporting culture.
“We need physical literacy among the youth so as to avoid the usage of phrases like we used to hear before ‘don’t throw the ball like a girl’,” he said.
He submitted that due to technology and the increase in the non-sporting activities, children are losing their concentration span.
“Mount Everest is next to us but 99% of the people who are climbing the Everest are from the western countries. We don’t have physical literacy to make our kids and youth strong enough to climb the Mount Everest,” Sankarnarayanan said.
