Do not make Olympic qualification the primary goal; instead, focus on procedure, urges chief coach Gopichand.

Gopichand underlined that since the Olympic qualification spots will be decided on April 28, it is crucial to concentrate on the process and not succumb to needless pressure.
Gopichand's coaching instills a mentality that values the process above the destination by encouraging players to focus on their performance rather than being overly fixated on the result.
"I believe there's still a long way to go until the Olympics. There are roughly eight tournaments left to participate in. As a player, I don't think it's appropriate to pursue that," Gopichand stated to reporters. "I believe there is needless pressure to consider the race to Paris as the main objective. "I believe it's critical to follow the procedure; the points, rankings, and qualification will take care of themselves,"will resolve itself.
