Heartening to see so many young players (226!) from across the country. The depth is building. Shoutout to Vivaan and Naisha in the U-15 as well! Keep going, champions.

While the wins are great, I hope the coverage goes beyond just the results. We need to know more about their training, coaches, and challenges. Media should build narratives around these athletes, not just report scores.
