The Early Fire

Before the businessman, before the spiritual seeker - there was a boy on a cricket field.
Born with natural athleticism and leadership, Yashpal Singh Parmar's relationship with sport began long before business ever entered the picture.
At Daly College, Indore, sport was not just extracurricular - it was a way of life.
He served as a prefect for the Green (Vikram) House, balancing academics and athletics with a quiet determination.
But it was cricket that became his first teacher of leadership, resilience, and humility.
He represented his school twice in Australia's Brauer College Exchange Program, once as the youngest player, and later as captain - leading Daly College to its first-ever victory on Australian soil.
“That match taught me more about life than any classroom ever could.
You don't win because you want to, you win because you prepare.”

That moment, lifting the trophy as captain - was more than triumph.
It was initiation.
It was where Yashpal learned that pressure, patience, and precision could coexist and together, they could create greatness.

Sport as Philosophy

Decades later, Yashpal's connection to sport has evolved from competition to consciousness.
He no longer plays for the score - he plays for the stillness that sport brings.
For him, sport is a mirror - it reflects truth instantly.
When your mind is distracted, your body falters.
When your intention is pure, your performance flows.
“In sport, as in life, the opponent is rarely the other person.
It's always your own noise.”

He believes that every athlete, every entrepreneur, and every seeker fights the same battle - the battle for focus.
Sport, in his life, is how he trains that focus.

The Super Athlete Philosophy

Yashpal has coined a term that defines his modern approach to sport - The Super Athlete.
To him, a Super Athlete isn't someone who dominates one sport - it's someone who masters three dimensions of the body and mind:
MMA – for strength, aggression, and courage.
Gymnastics – for balance, flexibility, and control.
Yoga – for awareness, breath, and surrender.
“Master these three, and you can master any sport - and every part of yourself.”
He sees these not as separate disciplines, but as a trinity of transformation.
MMA builds the body.
Gymnastics trains the nervous system.
Yoga aligns the soul.
Together, they create the Super Athlete - strong yet still, fierce yet centered.

Discipline as Worship

Every sport Yashpal plays every workout, every breath - is, to him, an act of devotion.
He sees his body not as vanity, but as vessel.
It carries the mind and spirit, and must be treated with the same respect as a temple.
“To me, the gym is no different from a shrine.
Both are spaces of surrender.”

His routine is not about performance anymore, it's about presence.
Whether training in MMA, practicing yoga, or simply running outdoors, his intent remains the same:
to remain grounded in gratitude, focused in effort, and silent in pride.

Sport, Family, and Spirit

Sport runs through the Parmar household like oxygen.
His children, Shivanshika and Shivansham, are growing up around movement and mindfulness.
Family weekends often blend play and purpose, cricket on the lawn, yoga with laughter, lessons without lectures.
His wife, Lovey, shares his belief that fitness is not about perfection it's about peace.
Together, they've turned lifestyle into legacy teaching their children that health, humility, and happiness are the real trophies.
“In my home, competition doesn't matter.
What matters is joy in motion.”

The Legacy Ahead

For Yashpal, sport is no longer just a part of his life it's the metaphor for his life.
Every season, every setback, every victory mirrors something within him.
He doesn't see sport as a stage to prove strength, he sees it as a school that teaches grace.
And his mission ahead is simple, to bring that lesson to India, to make fitness and mental discipline part of every family's daily rhythm.
“Sport has given me everything, discipline, clarity, stillness.
Now it's my turn to give back.”

For Yashpal Singh Parmar, sport is not an escape from life - it is life, in its purest form:
action rooted in awareness, movement guided by mind, and strength shaped by spirit.

“The match may end. The game never does.”
