Context.  ____---------This is the story of Sharad Gaikwad, who has never let his physical disability come in the midst of his success. He says that I never thought that Shariq could not do anything on his own due to limitations.                                                 Shoulder injury could not stop him from winning the medal___---------                 I am a handicapped by birth. Despite this, I started learning swimming from class four. I am from Bangalore. Swimming training was made compulsory in my school. During school days when I swam. Started attending classes, so my parents were apprehensive about my disability. But after constant assurances by the principal, he gave permission. Being a Divyang, no one thought that I would make a career in sports. In the year 2003, I was participating in a school competition. At the same time, trainer John Christopher saw me swimming. He met me after the competition was over and inspired me to pursue a career in swimming. Although I still did not know how I would be able to do it. But I always tried to do well on my behalf, so that my parents and teachers encouraged me to continue. After this I started training in advanced swimming classes from John                 And participated in many swimming competitions. When I enrolled in high school after winning 'prizes in many competitions', I was given a concession in fees and' exemption in classes for training. My inspiration as a career in swimming is Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe, who has won five Olympic gold medals. I was positive from school. I never let my physical disability get in the way of my dreams. As a child, I faced many difficulties physically, mentally, during training. But now on regular practice, those difficulties were overcome.I have no problem with my disability. In 2014, due to a shoulder injury during the Asian Para-Games in Incheon, South Korea, I felt that I should leave the game and retire. But thankfully during that time there was an encouraging and lengthy conversation with Rahul Dravid. His encouragement gave me renewed vigor. After that I continued my game and won six medals in that competition. Earlier, PT Usha had won five medals at the Asian Games, 1986. Later he also encouraged me through e-mail. I am now working closely with the Blowfin Foundation, a non-profit organization. Through this foundation, we are trying to raise awareness about the career opportunities and adoption of Para Games, especially among the differently abled children, who are the emigrants for sports. Now every morning and evening, I give children swimming training at a training center in South Bangalore. I like to play with young children in the swimming pool. I have always been free to live my life my way.             I never thought that I could do anything on my own because of my physical limitations. I always tell my students that the only thing that matters whether you win or lose in the race is that you did your best. No . If you have not performed well. So try to do better next time. Also, one should be mentally strong and calm under any circumstances. - Paragraph awarded to Arjuna Award - Based on various interviews of the player.                                         NOTE __-----This incident has changed from another language to English.
