Herbalife India's new podcast with Manika Batra reveals the mindset behind sporting excellence
In its latest episode of Live Your Best Life, Unscripted, Herbalife India features a powerful conversation with Manika Batra, one of the most prominent names in Indian sport. Titled 'Personal Growth Through Sports: Life Lessons from Table Tennis,' the episode brings listeners face-to-face with the grit, discipline, and drive that have defined Manika's remarkable career. Personal Growth Through Sports: Life Lessons from Table Tennis Player Manika Batra. Hosted by Ajay Khanna, Managing Director of Herbalife India, the episode covers everything from Manika's historic run to the round of 16 at the Paris 2024 Olympics, a first for any Indian woman in singles table tennis, to her views on mental resilience, recovery, and staying motivated. 'Sports has been my greatest teacher,' Manika shares. 'It's taught me how to stay mentally strong, how to bounce back from setbacks, and how to keep working hard even on the toughest days.' The conversation moves beyond competition and medals. Manika opens up about her personal challenges, from injuries and self-doubt to the pressure of expectations, and how consistent training, clean nutrition, and mental preparation have kept her going. She also discusses the critical role of supplements in her routine, especially while travelling for international tournaments and during high-intensity training blocks. 'Supplements are an essential part of my routine,' she says. 'When you're training hard or on the move, you don't always get the right nutrition from food alone. I trust Herbalife products to give me the support I need.' Manika's journey also touches upon her plans to give back to the community. She reveals her vision for a high-performance training academy that will support young table tennis players with the right facilities, not just physically, but mentally and nutritionally.

Nick Sirianni Continues To Pull Right Strings For Eagles
Nick Sirianni Continues To Pull Right Strings For Eagles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Ever since Nick Sirianni was hired as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, the outspoken leader has seemed to have strong control over the locker room. Advertisement Year after year, Sirianni has been able to handle the pulse of the roster to the point of allowing them to succeed even when adversity hit hard. It all came together last season when Sirianni's leadership helped the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX. At 48-20, Sirianni's .706 winning percentage is among the highest in NFL history for a coach in his first four seasons. His control of the locker room's pulse was abundantly clear during offseason workouts. In a clip of the Eagles' Unscripted documentary, Sirianni clarified the team's mindset for this season. "First I want to say, the celebration is over. OK? The celebration is over, preparation is here. Celebration is over, preparation is here," Sirianni said. "As we continued through here last year, as we came into the 2024 season there was a lot that we talked about of handling adversity. Now, it's a little different. You have to handle success, Right? It's a different animal. Right? Advertisement "You've got to handle success. Everyone right now, for the guys here, is telling you how good you are. Treat praise like perfume. Sniff it, don't drink it. It's poison." While Philadelphia is one of the youngest teams in the league, its roster is very veteran-laden. Its young players all played key roles in its Super Bowl run last season. Sirianni's ability to get his young team on the same page this early in the offseason shows that he continues to know the right ways to prepare his team for the season. And it shows why his record shows there's more to winning football games than just calling plays.
