MADRID -- Rafael Nadal has added former player and fellow Spaniard Carlos Moya to his coaching team ahead of the 2017 season.The 14-time Grand Slam champion said in a statement Saturday that Moya will work together with Toni Nadal and Francis Roig.To have someone like Carlos, who is not only a friend but also a very important person in my career, is something special, Nadal said. He will be next to me on my practice and competition.Moya, who won the 1998 French Open as a player, parted ways earlier this month with Milos Raonic after leading the Canadian to his most successful year on the tour. Raonic reached his first Grand Slam final at Wimbledon and moved up to a career-high ranking of No. 3. Moya had joined Raonics team in January.To be able to help Rafa is something special for me and I am sure that together with Toni, Francis and the rest of the team we have a great common project, Moya said. Rafa is a special player and above all a great person and friend on which I have a lot of trust and confidence that will be able to continue winning important titles.Toni Nadal, the players uncle and main coach, said Moya will also join projects involving the Rafa Nadal Academy.When I knew Carlos had stopped with Raonic I called him since we think he can join all our projects, Toni Nadal said. Carlos has always been a special person for us ... We understand it is the right moment to have him join our team.Cheap Asics Shoes Free Shipping .

I thoroughly enjoyed it, Lahiri told ESPN. Like any sports lover, it was disappointing to see some of the things from an organisational perspective.In an interview to Firstpost shortly after the Olympics, Lahiri had expressed disappointment at the officials associated with running sports bodies in India. He had likened the journey of any Indian sportsperson at the Olympics with taking a cycle while going to a motor race. He had cited personal experiences such as having to take a taxi from the airport to the Games village and then waiting two hours before being allowed entry, and the fact that the golfers were denied any support staff outside of their respective caddies, besides getting basic clothing equipment without any sweaters or rain wear to cope with the weather conditions in Rio.I am obviously not experienced in dealing with associations, but all I did was I called a spade a spade, said Lahiri. I think what other sportspersons and I have been saying for several years now is that theree has to be a greater focus on developing a sports culture within India.dddddddddddd This is the underlying factor behind our performances at the Olympics, and that message I fear is getting lost in the chaotic outcry of Rio.Lahiri, who had won silver in the team event of the 2006 Asian Games in Doha as an amateur, also stressed the importance of making sports an integral part of school curriculum, while hoping that Indians take a greater liking to sports outside of cricket.More people need to realise that it is healthy to play sport. It has a positive impact on mind and body to be playing sport at an older age, and by that I mean late teens, said Lahiri. We have to evolve beyond the culture where I keep getting asked, Aaj kal kya karte ho? Golf khelte ho, woh sab toh theek hai, lekin aur kya karte ho (What do you do for a living, besides playing golf?)Lahiri is hopeful that the sports federations and government agencies can create a vision for the longer term.As a golfer, Im in the sport where were least involved in this entire process. I would wish them the very best of luck, said Lahiri. I must say the vision has to be over a 20-year period, and not just restricted to Tokyo [the venue for the 2020 Olympics].The main issue is of getting India to embrace a sporting culture. How the relevant bodies tackle this will have an impact on whether we focus on developing sports or winning medals, Lahiri said. ' ' '
