Some of my favorite quotes from the bookBindra, Abhinav; Rohit Brijnath.A Shot At History : My Obsessive Journey to Olympic Gold
- Unlike many sports, here perfection is not elusive, it is, in fact, a requirement.
- I have to make my life difficult, break it down into minute detail and master each part.
- Only sport can do this to you, strip you naked in an instant in public, step on your dreams, make four years of practice incidental.
- In our world, even hitting the bullseye isn’t enough. We have to hit a particular part of the bullseye, we have to exist on the very edge of perfection.
- You have to stretch yourself to the limit and leave very little to chance. Only then does reward arrive.
- Let me explain. My trigger is sensitive, it takes just 30 grams of pressure to set it off. Almost to the point where, if a platoon of arguing bees sat on it, it will fire. But I have enough control in my finger to pull it back 20 grams and then hold it, hold it, hold it, and then exert a little more to fire, as gently as a butterfly’s breath. It’s cool.
