Throwball Champion Poornima seeks help to realise her dream

Brijesh Garodi

Mangalore, Jul 24: Poornima P, resident of Ariyadka, Puttur, born to Balanna Gowda and Umavathi, pursued her primary and high school education from Pappe Majalu. She completed her pre-university course from Sri Krishna PU College, Patte, Puttur. Presently she is pursuing her II year BA at Alva’s College, Moodbidri.

Her father stays at home while her mother works as a coolie. Her brother has been urged to take temporary rest due to health reasons.

Inspired by her brother Mithun Kumar and supported by her parents, she showed a keen interest in the field of sports right from her childhood days. She has taken part in taluk, district, state and national level meets in volleyball, throwball, and javelin.

Trained her by primary physical director Vanitha, she has played in taluk level volleyball tournaments in her primary education days. Later, she has also represented her school at the taluk and district level in her high school days, coached by Praveen Rai.

In her PU college days, with the help of her coach Monappa, Poornima took part in the state-level throwball tournament as well.

With an impressive background in the field of sports, she has been granted free education in Alva’s College under the sports quota. It includes free education, accommodation, and food. Her present coach from Alva’s College is Uday Kumar, the physical director of the college.

She does her workout from 5:30 am to 8:30 am, attends class from 9:30 am to 3 pm and is back to practice from 4 pm to 7 pm. She studies from 8:30 pm to 10 pm. Despite such a packed and tight schedule, she has learnt to balance her studies and sports well.

She participated in the national-level throwball tournament in Nagpur and was part of the team that emerged champions of the event. Poornima has also been a part of the national meet held recently in Haryana and emerged as the runner-up.

From the selections at the Haryana national-level meet, she has been chosen to represent India along with the other 11 sportswomen from different parts of the country.

The international sports meet is to be held from August 10 to 13 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She has been directed to pay an amount of Rs 50,000 for the tickets and other expenses to be borne by the participants.

Her primary and high school associations have helped her with a little amount as well as the Gowda Society from her hometown.

Readers who are willing to support this young sportswoman to come up in life can do the same by rendering their helping hand to this needy girl.
