  1. Content: Improved sports infrastructure gives athletes quality training grounds, which raises standards and the chance of winning medals. Multipurpose sustainable facilities serve many sports at a lower cost and are environmentally friendly. Technology such as performance analytics and video analysis helps in training, injury prevention and tactics. A grassroot-centric approach finds talent in villages and small towns and nurtures it early, so the talent pool widens.
