With Experience, Things Have Changed For Me: PR Sreejesh

03.03.2024 - 13:53 sports.ndtv.com

Veteran goalkeeper PR Sreejesh says he has learned to steer clear of negative thoughts with experience, something that has helped him immensely while guarding the post for the Indian team in big matches.

As he prepares for the upcoming Paris Olympics, Sreejesh spoke about the criticism that comes with the "thankless job" of manning the goalpost for the national side. "It is a thankless job at times because if I made 10 saves and concede one goal, everyone will remember that one mistake.

But I have accepted that and I have moved on with that," he said on Saturday. "This profession has helped me in my personal life on how to deal with pressure and criticism as well," Sreejesh added during a conversation with David Lee, who is the head coach of Prime Volleyball League franchise Bengaluru Torpedoes.

One of the best players in modern-day volleyball, Lee represented USA thrice at the Olympics, and led his side to a gold medal and a bronze medal.
