“It was only a matter of time. I am quite sure he will now go for 92m, 93m or, maybe, 94m throws in future. Neeraj is a very responsive athlete, very attentive and trustful. That trust places a responsibility on you as a coach to always be at your best. But on the other side, he brings a lot of own mental effort into training. He is very creative towards his training in terms of looking for new exercises, looking for making the exercises more efficient, specifically for the javelin.”
