TSP Player Profile: Rao (The Indomitable Spirit of TSP)
In the world of sports, there are players who stand out not just for their skills, but for their spirit and dedication. Tejas Vishwasrao, affectionately known as Rao, is one such player for TSP. A defender at heart, Rao embodies the essence of a true fighter, someone you can trust blindly and go to war with on the field.
Rao's journey with TSP began when he was a young adult, fresh out of college. His passion for the game was evident from the start, and he quickly became one of the best defenders at Amara. His emotional nature is his strength, channeling his energy into positive aggression that fuels his performance on the field. No matter the situation, Rao is relentless in his pursuit of what is right for his team and his people.
Balancing work and passion is never easy, and Rao is no exception. With the start of his career in sales, he faces the challenge of juggling office timings with training sessions. Yet, his commitment to the game remains unwavering. Despite the constraints, Rao stays sharp during matches and maintains constant communication with his coach, Ashu, who holds immense confidence in Rao's dedication and practice.
Rao's ability to make the best of opportunities is remarkable. Whether it's learning from friends or honing his skills through games, he maximizes the resources around him. His wisdom extends beyond the field, as he seeks advice from peers in sales to grow in his career.
A 50% fit Rao is often more impactful than many players at their best, simply because of his indomitable will to make things happen
.
On the field, Rao is not just a defender; he's a catalyst for attack, embodying the modern-day defender akin to those in the EPL. His leadership style is to lead by example, motivating his teammates with the mantra, "If I can, so can you." His honesty and blunt feedback, especially with younger team members, foster growth and improvement, thanks to the strong bonds he shares with them.
A lifelong Liverpool fan, Rao is often likened to the legendary Lahm, playing a crucial role in TSP's success last season, helping the team secure joint 2nd place and qualify for Division 1. Off the field, his strategic thinking and desire to improve the team are ever-present, reflecting his attitude to win both in football and his professional life.
Rao's passion is palpable, playing with his heart on his sleeve. While this intensity sometimes leads to playful jabs about crossing lines, it's all in good spirit. The camaraderie within the team is evident, with light-hearted banter about last season's auctions in LAFT and the Pirates' performance to win gold :)
In Rao, TSP has a gem, a player whose presence is invaluable. As the team sets its sights on the Super Division, Rao's role will undoubtedly remain integral. His spirit, skill, and dedication make him not just a player, but a cornerstone of the team. We are indeed very fortunate to have him in our squad, and his journey is one we all eagerly follow.
