Excerpts form the interview:

When did you start coaching and with whom?

I started coaching about 15 years ago. I began with MAHESH VERMA and MEKHALA SUBEDAR at Temple Hill Institute, DEVLALI. MEKHALA went on to become a NATIONAL WOMENS CHAMPION for four years.

When did your work at JINDAL start?

In the year 1995 when Mr. SAJJAN JINDAL asked me to join  the complex as a sports officer.

Tell us about your wards.

I am proud that two of them SANDEEP JANGRA & VIKAS JANGRA, represented INDIA at the recent WORLD JUNIOR SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIP, 2004 in ISLAMABAD. SARVESH CHAUHAN, RITESH SHARMA have followed in their footsteps and next in line are LAXMAN JOSHI and NAVEEN JANGRA. My budding stars are a young group of boys and girls aspiring to become promising players. RINKY SONI -13, CHETAN RATHORE - 13, VIVEK DUHAN - 10, SHASHI PANDEY - 10, RAHUL SONI - 10.

ADITYA JAGTAP, ANKITA SHARMA, TARUN NAMBIAR, SAUMYA KHARKI & ABHISHEK PRADHAN are members of the JINDAL SQUASH ACADEMY who come to train and have shown tremendous improvement.

How much time do you spend on coaching?

I spend the entire day on the courts. We begin our session in the morning at seven and our session in the evening gets over at nine. I also take care of the other sports activities held at the JINDAL RECREATIONAL COMPLEX. 

What motivates you to work so hard?

My will to win and the support of Mr. SAJJAN JINDAL, Mrs. SANGEETA JINDAL & THEIR SON, PARTH who enjoys playing squash. My hope in the best in bringing more talent from VASIND boys and girls.

What's in store for the future?

Our academy will be upgraded. We will have four glass back courts. We will have the best facilities that will enable us to produce the best players. We shall work towards achieving a common dream of an INDIAN WORLD CHAMP.

Once more was the call heard after the success of the eighth squash clinic held by ISP at Chaitanya Tower, Prabhadevi.

More then 45 players participated in this event. The response was so good the camp was made a 20-day one. The trainees were divided into three batches so that all could benefit. 

Hitesh Gutka and Vivek Tarneja, co-ordination committee member and health club committee member of Chaitanya Tower have taken it upon themselves to make sure all the participants will be trained by the ISP pros. The excitement was such that almost 50 names enrolled on the very first day. 

Under 15 age group players Takshay Tarneja, Shikar Soni, Amal Hosangady, Pritvi Sinha and Nivedita Chopra enjoyed the sessions and will continue to play after the camp ends. 

All this made this camp the best ISP initiative to date.

Top juniors from India have emerged from the 'Jindal Stable' and the rate with which Verma has produced Champions makes him the most sought after coach in Maharashtra. The 'Jindal Squash Academy' located in Vashind has top juniors from Mumbai running to it for training. With expansion plans on the anvil with four glass back squash courts to be made operational shortly with top class accommodation, the Jindal Squash Academy promises to become the numero uno  squash academy in the country. 

Verma comes from a family of coaches. Sunil is the son of Pancham Singh Verma whose brother Shyamlal Verma was leading professional of India inthe 60s at the College of Military Engineering, Pune. His brother Mahesh is national pro champ. “Life is squash”  is the motto of Sunil Verma.
