Who Your Coach is, Really Matters! With Neeraj Chopra winning gold in the Tokyo Olympics 2021 men’s javelin throw final, history has been rewritten. Neeraj had indeed made history which no Indian track-and-field athlete had ever done a gold medal at the Olympics. Though his success is the result of his hard work and determination, his journey may have gone wrong if Uwe Hohn would not have been his coach. Uwe Hohn, former coach of Neeraj Chopra, was a track and field athlete of Germany holding the ‘eternal world record’ for the highest javelin throw of 104.80m. Thus, it can be said that your coach matters, as they play an instrumental role in your life, either making or breaking your career. This not only holds true in sports but in every walk of life, with an inspiring coach besides you, one is bound to succeed.
While the success of Neeraj Chopra is astonishing and exhilarating at the Tokyo Olympics, we should not forget the contribution of his coach Uwe Hohn, who’s training and hard work, had a huge impact and a crucial role to play in Neeraj’s success. Germany’s Uwe Hohn, one of the world’s all-time great javelin throwers, is the master of his art. Uwe Hohn is not just a coach of an Olympic gold medalist but a legend in his own right.
