Heena Sidhu confident of good showing in Munich World Cup

"The World Cup in Munich is extremely important to figure where I stand before going into the first Olympic qualifiers that will start from the World Championship in September. We have experience of two Olympic cycles and we are using it to improve our preparations. The CWG, these World Cups are very important to checkpoints on our way to the Olympics. These competitions will show the true effects of our training and based on my results we can amend our preparations," Sidhu was quoted as saying by BCCI.

"I and my team have been working hard in improving all aspects of my game keeping the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in mind. I am in sound technical physical and mental state and my equipment is in top notch condition as well. I love competing in Munich and look forward to the competition."

On being asked about Pandit’s coaching methodology, Sindhu said, "We are focusing on physical conditioning and body stability. There are some good balancing equipment here so we are making use of it. Technically, we are working more on match readiness and on our refocus strategies because there can always be a silly mistake by you in a match or someone else doing something that disturbs you, but you need to recover quickly. So we are working on our refocus strategies and bounce back ratios."
