  "account": "Tendenthoi Devi Haobijam is set to participate in her second Asian Games, marking significant growth in her international experience and confidence. The journey to this point has included becoming a more assured athlete within the high-performance environment at the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS). In her debut at the 2023 Asian Games, Tendenthoi acknowledged being inexperienced and lacking confidence, having to learn from more experienced athletes. This time, however, she has had the chance to train consistently with her teammates, fostering better understanding and camaraderie. Training camps in Australia and Europe, along with various international competitions, have further prepared the crew for the pressure of competition. The support she received at IIS, both in terms of physical and mental aspects, has played a crucial role in her development. Her connection with coach Lakshmi, who inspired her from a young age, has also been a source of motivation. With this newfound confidence, Tendenthoi heads into the Asian Games with expectations of showcasing her skills alongside fellow rowers Aleena Anto, Gurbani Kaur, and Poonam.",
