I didn't think I would have an Olympic medal at 21, but I knew I would give my best and play my game. I just viewed it as my first Olympics and that I would take it one match at a time, but to bring a silver home made me very, very happy.
Win or lose, I always focus only on giving my 100%.
My parents have been volleyball players, and my dad is an Arjuna awardee in volleyball.
I train for six days in a week for eight to ten hours of practice per day.
Life has changed both on and off the court after the Rio Olympics medal. I have a lot of confidence on the court now and feel anything is possible. I also feel that I have improved my game. Off the court, I do get recognised more now.
Life has changed after Rio. Winning a silver medal was a huge moment for me. It has come with a lot of responsibilities.
