Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday put emphasis on attaining mental strength and self-confidence while training for excellence in sports, reports UNB.
“Mental strength and confidence along with training are of utmost importance. The more you train, the more you will attain excellence,” PM Hasina said.
The Prime Minister said this while addressing a reception programme for Bangladesh women’s national football team who won the SAFF women’s championship 2022 in September. At the event, prize money and financial honorarium were handed to women footballers for bringing the trophy to Bangladesh.
The programme was held at the Shapla Hall of Prime Minister Office (PMO).
Sheikh Hasina said that athletes of the country must always remember that as a nation Bangalees have attained a hard-earned victory in the Liberation War.
“We are a victorious nation; we have attained independence through the Liberation War. You must remember this. We won in the war and we will win in sports too. You must have this attitude. Only then success will come,” she said.
Talking about development in sports over the last 14 years, she said, “We are trying to develop the sports sector from the grassroots level. There is a stadium in every district and that stadium will be used for every sport,” she added.
