ROPE SKIPPING

Goan people know about skipping but very few people are engaged in this game. Some people not even know that there are skipping nationals and internationals take place in different countries.

My journey of skipping started when I was in fourth standard in 2007. I done my first skipping national in 2007 in Goa. I always used to practice and so it was pleasure for me to be the part of Goa team and even Goa team was also glad to have me with them. I have done national every year and now as a senior player I am coaching the new players of Goa and going as a coach and a judge for national rope skipping tournament. We promote this game in different schools in Goa.

When I go for national we people get a chance to communicate with skippers from other state. We as a skipping team go in different states for national, compete with other state players. Sometimes we loose, sometimes we win, but the love for this game always used to increase. At every national we get something new to learn.
I never thought that skipping will took me on that level where all sports player want to reach. I got selected for international. I got a chance to see the world outside. My international was at Hong Kong. There level of skipping were very high, and we were on the first step. They are masters in that so looking at them we decided to practice more to become a master of skipping.

This is the game which gave the meaning to my life. Skipping completes me. This game also keep our health good. It is a best exercise and it builds stamina. It does not require big space. If one shows the little interest in this game just for fitness or just as a game then you will never disappoint.
