Commentary Concering Books Playing to Win
'. . . being a player from India defines who I am. When I play, it's for my parents, my coach, and my country.' Meet Saina Nehwal-India's star badminton player and World Number 4, Padma Shri and Khel Ratna awardee, the girl who brought laurels to India by winning an Olympic medal at the age of twenty-two. In this fascinating memoir, she talks about her childhood and growing-up years; her relationship with the most important people in her life; the ups and downs of her celebrated career, from district level wins to the Olympics; and the sacrifices needed to succeed in any sport. She also reveals little-known facts and offers a peek into her many avatars-daughter, sister, student, and the regular girl behind the badminton prodigy. Find out what a typical day in Saina's life is like-rigorous training, a strict diet, and no parties or sleepovers. But it's not all work and no play; Saina loves to shop, eat ice cream (post wins only), and play games on her iPad! With candid photographs and badminton tips from the pro herself, this book showcases the making of a badminton champ-in her own words.Rating Appertaining To Books Playing to Win

Good.Not a recommended one.I mean the way she projected is not interesting and not a page turner.And i accepting that she is a successful player and inspirational women.Short book. could have been much more informative.
The Inspiring Saina...(feeling inspired!)It felt really good and inspiring after reading two books (Playing to win and Saina Nehwal: An Inspirational Biography) written on the youth icon, Saina Nehwal. One can take a lot of inspiration from her....and yes, of course the inspiration is not only in terms of the game but also in terms of hard work, dedication and staying focused. After reading these books, one realizes that the name and fame comes only after great efforts and tremendous hard work.
Exceptional hard work story of Saina... But i didn't like the way book has been written... It could be better than this...
Before you start reading the review, let me clarify that I have not read many auto-biographies, and those read were either classics or work of real geniuses. So reading this book, termed as 'autobiography' gives me a shocker as a literary person. It might give some excitement to Sports buff or a celebrity follower, but then by the end of the book nothing is revealed that might be of any worth to know to any of them.The language looks a disappointing translation from Hindi to English, and the
Happy Birthday Saina, keep Shining:)I think the best time to write an autobiography for a sports person is right after his/her retirement, not too early not too late and this is the normal trend as well. Saina wrote it when she was 22, one of the youngest one to publish an autobiography. That's why we'll miss the events took place after the book was published for exp achieving the number one ranking, then this recent knee surgery she had and when many experts were saying that her glory days are
Mixed feelings about this book. It seems like the publishers wanted to cash in around the hype created after Saina won her Olympics medal in 2012. Just look at what else she has achieved in the past 3 years... She has become world no. 1 for Pete's sake! Surely it would have made sense to wait for a few more years and include these details in the autobiography? I have tremendous respect for her as an athlete, but this book was below par. The only chapter that stood out was about her coaches,
