The Big Question and the Conservative Answer

Sports or Studies?

This has been and always will be, a critical and difficult decision for youngsters and even their parents, because a career in sports may have to be pursued at the cost of studies. Encouraging the child to focus on sports only, is a gamble that most parents, especially from the middle and lower-income groups, have traditionally shied away from, primarily because of -
        the stiff competition that aspirants had to face for every available place in national teams,
        relatively shorter span of earning when comapred with a regular job,
        and the paucity of livelihood prospects that were available to sports-persons after retirement.
           (Sports-persons usually retire in their mid-thirties.)

So, in most families, the precious little time and money parents could set aside for investment in co-curricular activity, was not always directed towards sports-coaching. Even those who had time, money and gifted children, did not invest effort in envisaging a sports-career for their child/ward, as it was fraught with the uncertainties related to opportunity at higher levels, and a seemingly long, idle and morbid post-retirement life. Overall, in the last century, even for talented sports-persons, the pursuit of a career in sports, as a whole package, was a risky and speculative venture.

The Prospects & Outlook Today

Things have changed in the present times. With the beginning of glorified club and league-level competitions, career opportunities, on and connected to the sports-field, have not only multiplied, but some have even proved to be far more lucrative and desirable than those available to some of the top achievers in academics. i.e. A good performer in an IPL or ISL team, will, in all likelihood, earn much more money and fame in five years than what a Foreign Services or Administrative Services officer, or a rank-holder charted accountant, or a well-placed specialist doctor will earn in fifteen years. In addition to this, the opportunities of monetizing the recognition and stardom earned on the field, have increased manifold and several avenues of earning are available to sports-persons even after retirement.

In light of the above facts, more parents are now ready to 'roll the dice' and sponsor their child’s pursuit of 'sport-star' dreams.

How Can  JyotishWorks.com  Help?

If your child's special interest in sports and frequent displays of prodigious talent on the field, often make you wonder, whether you should patronize his/her quest for fame and glory at the cost of academics, and whether your investment of time, effort and hard-earned-money, in honing his/her sport-skills today, will enable your child to live a respectable and comfortable life, even without him/her getting a serious/formal education, then, you have come to the right place. JyotishWorks.com can help parents/guardians decide if they should encourage their child/ward to focus on sports, with an aim to become a professional sports-person.

You will need to submit your ward/child's birth details, using which, we will cast and evaluate his/her horoscope. The entire evaluation exercise will be focussed on whether the native is likely to succeed as a sports-person and whether the chances of success seem good enough, to put plans for a regular education on the back-burner, and to warrant a sizeable investmet of time, effort and money by the parents/guardian, in helping the child acquire sporting skills that will help compete at higher levels.

This service will cost you INR 11,000/- or   USD 135/- (approx)

What you should expect from us -

1. Our views about the chances of success the native has, as a sports-person.
2. Our views about whether the child will require a cushion of education for securing a regular income stream.
3. A hint/suggestion on whether to invest heavily in arranging for/creating a platform that the native will require for advanced training/sharpening skills.

What you should NOT expect from us -

        Any kind of guarantee for success of your ward/child as a sports-person, through the engagement of this website for horoscope evaluation. In other words, if in our assessment, the horoscope of the aspiring sportstar does not meet the requisite parameters for success in sports, we will NOT be able to change anything.
(There no committment for changing fortune through any remedial measure or upaaya)

        Also, there is no guarantee of any guidance/suggestion about an alternate career for the native if the evaluation of the horoscope reveals that the level of achievement in sports is not likely to be satisfactory. So, expectations of guidance/answers to questions around - if not sports, then what.....are misplaced.

Why should you opt for this paid service?

        Advantage of Information

You should opt for this service if you feel that your child, even though talented, may not carve-out a glorious enough career in sports (either due to a lower level of achievement or due to the fact that even achievers in the chosen sport attract little more than sports-quota jobs) and may need a shield or a cushion that education can create, to further his/her livelihood prospects after the playing days are over.

In short, if you wrestle with questions like - only sports OR sports and some education? Then, you should opt for this service.

        Advantage of Prudent Investment

Anyone aiming to play for his/her country, or at any recognised level, has to pay for coaching at some point. They also have to outperform at several junior-level competitions. Sometimes more than one coach has to be engaged and taking part in several competitions implies a fair bit of travelling. The expenditure of going full-throttle can run into a few lakhs (hundred thousand) every year and unless sponsorship is arranged, this money will come out of the parent's/guardian's pocket.
If you can afford it without worrying about zero return ....congratulations!!
You are the ideal parent/guardian. You need no help......and we genuinely hope that your guts and generosity rub-off and inspire others.

However, if you are in two minds, and can't decide whether to 'save for a rainy-day', or to sponsor a 'wild-goose chase', then, the idea of 'counting your chickens beforehand' may appeal to you. You can use our service to get the inputs and clarity you need for making that 'life-changing' decision.

Before spending exorbitant amounts on coaching, travelling and fancy equipment, you can get an idea of what to expect in return, by engaging  JyotishWorks.com.  For a fraction of the yearly cost of logistical support, you can find out what an astrologer who did pioneering work on isolating astrological parameters for success on the sports-field, thinks about your ward's/child's horoscope and future as a sports-person.

What We Do NOT Intend -

We at JyotishWorks.com do not intend to dishearten or undermine the confidence of any youngster/teenager aspiring to play at any recognized level by giving our opinion of his/her prospects and scope of achievements to their parent(s)/guardian(s).

Our Thoughts and Intentions -

We think all sports-persons are entertainers, who, through their exploits on the field, provide a much needed dose of amusement, excitement and inspiration, which enables their fans and spectators to cope with the monotony of a routine life. In addition to the obvious health benefits that accrue from sporting activities, cultivation of sportsman-spirit amongst practitioners is a very valued add-on. This in essence, is respect for rules and fair-play, and an attitude which allows graceful acceptance of defeat along with the ability to focus on the learnings from failures. These values if imbibed early, help in shaping restless adolescents vulnerable to corruptive influences, into disciplined, progressive and law-abiding citizens. And so, we at JyotishWorks.com have the highest regard for those wanting to excel in sports and also for their facilitators, and would never even dream of doing anything to discourage them.

We ONLY intend to help those less-fortunate and less-endowed parents/guardians who are unable to decide whether to direct their child's focus and efforts towards studies or sports, and whether to invest their limited resources in creating a sports-coaching-platform for their child, or to deploy those resources towards fulfillment of more immediate and pressing needs.
