Eldhose Paul Professional Career, Achievements, Coach, College
The Ernakulam native stated that he was hoping to hit his peak around the May-June period and he is still in pre-competition mode at the moment. “I hadn’t done any specific preparations for these meets because I was just starting the season. But I’m still in a pre-competition mode because you don’t want to peak right now and the training is not in full swing,” Eldhose Paul stated.
‘It is about gradually progressing so that when the big events come around, you can do and show your best appearance. It is a big year with the Asian Games and Commonwealth Games as well as the World Championships. To produce these jumps and knowing that I can do better, there is a belief that I can stand first on the podium at the Asian Games. It’s all about training hard and also staying dedicated and focused,” he added to his statement.
Eldhose Paul did not always consider himself a medal prospect or a serious athlete and it was only in college that he made up his mind and decided to take the plunge. He began contesting in the athletic meets during his time at MA College in Kothamangalam, which is considered a nursery of emerging athletes. After getting trained by veteran coach TP Ouseph, this youngster has not looked back and achieved goals and is still achieving.
India had to wait a long time for a gold medal in the triple jump event at the Asian Games. That 48-year drought was ended by Mr. Arpinder Singh held at Jakarta. Arpinder bagged a gold medal with an effort of 16.77 meters and as Eldhose Paul produced a personal best of 16.95 meters at the recently held Indian Grand Prix-2 qt Thiruvananthapuram, the Kerala native believes that he could be in the reckoning for a medal at the Games set to be held in the Hangzhou.
