While winning is a long-term goal, the HPC is focusing on the journey, the strategy and the holistic development of the player that involves an integrated approach, a combination of physical, mental and psychological training.""Odisha has the foundation of a really successful sports system," explained Hillier, elaborating on his vision. "The government is incredibly proactive and is willing to invest in good people to create a performance system that allows talented athletes to flourish."For now, the HPC is focused on sprints, hurdles and middle-distance running but further expansion will see the inclusion of jumps and throws program as well."We are confident we will unearth a new generation of stars from the state, athletes that can go ahead and medals for India in the future," Hiller said.
