The next step

Why is it so difficult for so many of our talented sports stars to step up to the next level? Sports star after sports star makes a dent in their chosen sport and when the world notices them, they suddenly begin to stagnate.
The exceptions are so few and far between, its depressing. What will it take to get a Saina Nehwal to step up to the next level? I hope Gopichand has some ideas, because Saina looks like someone who can step up.
While less said about the great Indian Tennis hope the better. Sania has been underachieving forever now and she continues to act as if she is the best thing that happened to Indian Tennis. What infuriates me even more is the way the country fawns over her.

Lets face it, she ain't gonna win Wimbledon in this lifetime.
