India shuttler Lakshya Sen, who won a bronze at the World Junior Championships in Canada recently, has revealed that he gets inspired by listening to stories about his coach Prakash Padukone's 1980 All England title. Lakshya wants to emulate his coach by winning the same title in the near future.
"He (Padukone) shares a lot of his playing days memories and how he won the All England Championships. These stories are inspiring and motivating. Winning this tournament apart from an Olympics medal and World Championships is my ultimate goal," said Lakshya, who beat Daniel S Farid 21–9, 21–17 to enter the Tata Open quarter-finals yesterday.
