Background

When Girish was urged by his PT teacher to participate in the Inter School Kabaddi Tournament, young Girish was completely new to the sport and absolutely clueless. But his playing style struck the eye of his PT teacher who encouraged him to join the sport.

Coming from a humble background Girish neither had knowledge about the basics of the sport, nor money to even afford the diet required for a majorly contact sport like Kabaddi. But Ernak didn't lose hope. He spend his mornings distributing newspaper and used the money he earned to meet his dietary expenditures.
