Goa's Gold Medalist in Sqay Martial Arts discipline at the recently concluded 37th National Games, Pranjal Prashant Naik, said that she focussed on giving her 100% for the sport.
Naik, a resident of Corlim, said that she put in a lot of effort that ensured her success.
"I practiced for the past 3 months every day at Cansaulim sports complex. I was solely focussed on giving my 100%. This was my mindset, and I won the gold medal," she said.
"I started learning Sqay Martial Arts since I was in 6th standard. I always had an inclination for karate, boxing, and other action-related sport. I feel that marital arts can ensure protection for girls as they can be safe alone. They can go anywhere by themselves," she said.
