You might have come across many successful stories that not only characterise the joyful part or the secret formula but also the difficulties and challenges that flow through the way. The universe is made of stories, not of atoms. Unlike the other stories, let’s en route to this rifle shooter Mr. Deekshith A. S, who grew up personifying vision towards victory.

It costs nothing to dream, but amid coding an error free output we ultimately pay a lot, sometimes even beyond what we have; physically, mentally and financially.

A young talent born and brought up in a small family that constantly serves the community and values humanity was very much influenced through the acts of his father, a local cop, a mother who serves as a nurse and an aunt who is likely a social activist.

Sports is something very inspirational for young people and based on Deekshith’s enthusiasm and commitment he soon joined the Hawkeye Academy for the beginners training which was quiet, far from his place.

Concentration comes out of a combination of confidence and hunger. Deekshith’s hunger in building eminence to his school – Sherwood High gave him enough opportunity in moulding his career and self-confidence, and to his very own country through the talent he possesses was never a so-called dream either to him or to any of his dear ones.

They say ‘the two most powerful warriors are patience and time’ and maintaining a balance between the two might tangle the rest of what comes its way! And that’s exactly what Deekshith had to tackle several times.

It hadn’t passed long when the situations favoured him hard that Deekshith had to witness some rough points creating difficulty in attaining proper training because of the lack of a transportation facility, yet he never gave up and managed practising from home. This is exactly where his determination reflects over the passing challenges.

Through the odd times he never broke on his dreams, instead took everything as nature’s blessings and swiped up the rest of the hours more likely in experimenting food, learning more about Abhinav Bindra whom he admired most in sports, watched and played football as he makes a huge fan of the Manchester United Football Club.

From the moment Deekshith started rifle shooting he realised that it produced some unique benefits related to better focus, eyesight and self-confidence.

‘The most distinguishing features of winners are their intensity of purpose’. Rifle shooting is a dream that Deekshith took so immensely within him and that perpetually defined by the number of awards and achievements he possessed.

(a) a gold medal at the inter school competition (Seshadripuram).

(b) one gold and two silver medals at the KSRA (Karnataka State Rifle Association).

(c) a silver medal secured at the KISA state level and

(d) secured a fourth place and an all-rounder position in the U-17 KISA national level.
