Exactly !!!!!
The only sport in which the players are treated so grandly and made national heroes is currently cricket . After the Cricket World Cup Victory , or even a India-Australia series victory the public goes gaga on the Cricketers.
This never happens when say the Hockey team wins the Asia cup , or our shooters , boxers ( pugilists ), wrestlers or wieghtlifters achieve success at the world Championships etc .
The establishment of civil societies , in China is a very novel and effective idea . Believe this is something Indian Govt can learn .
That's where you're wrong, my friend. China's system works in the absence of a sports craze. If you look at the events that China wins medals in, often you'll not find a thousand people in the whole of China who plays them for fun. China is not a sporting nation, which is precisely why the government adapted the system of tracking youngsters into sports where they are selected by natural aptitude. There often wouldn't be interest in them otherwise.

That was a pretty good series about Chinese public school system though.

Its not as bad, there are a few sports schools(academic life based around sports, instead of other way round) around in India if am not wrong. They started out quite well, but then as usual like other government projects got mired with corruption.
If i am not wrong, there is compulsory athletics for every school kid in China, just like American system. India needs something like that if it wants to win medals in Olympics.
And more schools like these are needed.

Wasn't referring to a free society thing....it doesn't work that way in sports ---only achievable through incentives like the bold part .
My question is how did Chinese authorities change people's mentalities to taking up sports as a career ?

How do you change general people's mindsets into accepting sports as an attractive career option ?
only the coaching methods are being shared as per the article , even if that system is shown to the GOI officials , I doubt it can be implemented in India ......end of the day its the young athelete choice , and at least in India he would prefer an academic career to atheletics .
Do the Chinese govt give any incentives for sports ?
Interestingly just as China is about to teach India, its sporting system, it iself is rethinking the model.

)Now a day cricket has been turned into business and a money making machine( read IPL).Also cricketers care much about thier endorsements and milking more from companies than sweating in the nets.Cricket is also getting infected with true sportiveness is gone due to new money making skills.
