Double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker’s father, Ram Kishan, recalls the late shooting coach Jaspal Rana’s influence on her career. In tributes reported by NDTV and Times of India, Kishan describes Rana as someone who brought “discipline” and a results-oriented approach to Bhaker’s training. He says Rana helped shape her mindset through guidance that emphasised hard work and self-belief, alongside confidence in her ability to compete at the highest level.
Both sources also highlight Rana’s support for Bhaker’s ambition to compete in two events. Kishan recounts that Rana backed her dual-event goals and remained steadfast in his encouragement through preparations for the Paris Olympics. The accounts portray Rana’s coaching as not only technical, but also mental, focusing on maintaining conviction and staying disciplined to achieve results.
The reports are framed as personal remembrances by Bhaker’s family following Rana’s death, focusing on his role in shaping Bhaker’s attitude, training discipline, and competitive preparation.
