You need to be a bit selfish to succeed, says Mathias Boe

You need to be a bit selfish to succeed, says Mathias Boe

The Hindu
Saturday, December 30, 2023 3:58 PM GMT

Satwik Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty achieved success in badminton doubles this year, with coach Mathias Boe preparing them for the Olympics.

Indian badminton saw a wonderful high in doubles this year with Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty breaking new ground. And after winning gold at the Asians and Asian Games, the pair climbed to the top of the men’s doubles world rankings.

As the duo prepares for next year’s Olympics, their coach Mathias Boe, who transformed them into one of the world’s best pairs feels how the two handle mind games will be crucial for success in Paris.

“The pressure on your shoulders at the Olympics is crazy, mostly from yourself and also from your country. Satwik and Chiraj have a good chance of winning a medal, so they will feel the pressure a little bit more,” said Boe, the former men’s doubles World No. 1, in a chat with The Hindu at the Muthoot Alwin’s Badminton Academy here on Saturday.

“Mentally, we will try and prepare the most but at the end of the day, it is how they handle the pressure that will matter.”

The 43-year-old from Denmark feels anybody from the world’s top eight or 10 pairs are capable of winning in Paris. Satwik and Chirag, currently World No. 2, will now be working to be among the top four in the seedings for the Paris Olympics.

While the pair is riding a happy wave, Boe feels the rest of the Indians in doubles need a change in attitude.

“There’s been a little bit of a standstill in the last 12 months. Instead of using Satwik and Chirag as the target, they use them as their role model. So instead of looking at them with a ‘hey, I want to beat them, become better than them,’ attitude, they are a little bit like, ‘I can’t beat them so what am I practising for’,” said Boe who won the men’s doubles silver at the 2012 London Olympics.
