Read edited excerpts:
Ishaan, can you tell us about how you started your journey in weightlifting and powerlifting?
My journey began about a year ago when I met my coach at a gym. He introduced me to the sport, and I developed a keen interest in it. I started practising regularly, and soon enough, I was participating in competitions like the School Games Federation of India (SGFI) National Weightlifting Tournament. It all escalated quickly from there, and I’ve been fortunate to achieve some good results early on.
What have been your major achievements in these sports so far?
I represented Apeejay School, Nerul at the SGFI National Weightlifting Tournament in Patna this February, where I placed 6th overall and received a scholarship from SGFI. Recently, I competed for Team Maharashtra at the National Powerlifting Championship in Patiala and secured third place with one silver and three bronze medals. Now, I’ve been selected to represent India in the Asian Championship next year.
Balancing academics and sports must be challenging. How do you manage it?
It’s definitely tough to manage both, especially being in the senior-most class. I had to create a strict schedule, dedicating specific hours to training and studies. My school has been incredibly supportive, allowing me to retake exams I missed and accommodating my attendance needs. This support has been crucial in managing both commitments effectively.
