In my opinion, Assam had faced quite a Dark Time in terms of improvements in football but there was quite a lot of talented players in need for recognition. But now, Assam is improving in those terms, now we have players from ISL and they are appreciated in the right amount in terms if money and achievement unlike in the earlier times when football players were recognized only after playing East Bengal or Mohunbagan.

I myself was in the Sports Authority school hostel for 5 long years from 1990 to 1995 and my improvement in football started from there, all the State level games I have played till date has been from SAI hostel since the coaching I underwent in the hostel with football practice twice a day worked wonders for me. Even as a coach myself today, I always focus more on physical fitness, with more and precise fitness I believe an automatic mental strength also prevails in the athlete so I always encourage them to prioritize fitness rather than chasing a win. I do have some senior players under my guidance but most of my children are juniors so I always focus and motivate them towards basic training.
