Nandi asserted that Indian coaches do have it in them to produce great results, but only when they are given proper facilities and infrastructure. Rejecting the notion that foreign coaches are more likely to deliver results when it comes to local athletes, 'Produnova' specialist Dipa Karmakar's coach Bishweshwar Nandi asserted that Indian coaches can do just as well, or even better, provided they are given proper facilities and infrastructure. Talking about his plans for Dipa and other Indian gymnasts for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Nandi said on Tuesday that he is hoping for a much better sports policy, so that they can aim for at least ten medals. They do send sometimes now as well, but it should be told in advance so that the coaches can plan accordingly. When asked about the concept of expecting more results from foreign coaches, Nandi asserted that Indian coaches do have it in them to produce great results, but only when they are given proper facilities and infrastructure, so that they can train their athletes with world-class amenities.
