Some Lesser Known Facts About Lalit Kumar
Lalit Kumar is an Indian wrestling coach. He was nominated for the Dronacharya Award in December 2023.
Lalit began training in wrestling at his uncle’s Lala Ram Vyamshala Akhara located in Delhi’s Roshnara area after completing his studies. He competed at the national level in the 63-kg and 68-kg wrestling divisions in Delhi, achieving numerous medals at the national and university games during the 1990s. However, he was forced to end his wrestling career owing to a knee injury. His uncle encouraged him to obtain a wrestling coaching certificate since he didn’t want to give up on his wrestling career. Lalit later pursued a diploma in wrestling coaching at Patiala’s National Institute of Sports (NIS). Lalit mentioned in an interview that he chose to become a wrestling coach because, following the knee injury, he did not want the wrestling legacy of his family to end. He said,
I dislocated my knee more often than I should have. In the nineties, operation was a dreaded word and for players, it was more so as they said it would end careers. Mine though was ended by the lack of it, Since my other brothers were already doing well in fields other than sports, there was still an urge to keep myself associated with the game and keep the family legacy going. It was at that point that tau ji asked me to get a coaching certificate from the National Institute of Sports (NIS) in Patiala. Coaching was the only way I could still stay attached with the love of my life.” check sources Business Standard

He later went back to his uncle’s Delhii gym, Lala Ram Vyamshala. He received a job offer as a coach from the Delhi government after working at his uncle’s gym for a while.
