India, May 11 -- Neha Goyal might be a star midfielder on the Indian hockey team, but her success didn't come easy. Her father couldn't support the family because of an illness and Neha witnessed her mother Savitri single-handedly running the household and raising three daughters. "Meri maa ne hum teen betiyon ko akele mehnat karke paala, padhaya aur khada kara," she says. In the face of severe financial hardship, Savitri worked as a daily wage labourer in foam factories and tyre shops to put food on the table and send her children to school. Neha shares, "Woh cycles pe taar bandha karti thi aur har 100 taar ke unko Rs.3 milte thhe. When I used to come back late after hockey training and even after we slept, she would still be doing the same thing." She gets emotional thinking about the sacrifices her mum made for her: "I once told her I wanted to play hockey and she told me, 'Tu jaa khel, main tere liye mehnat karungi, main hamesha tera saath dungi.' My heart fills up even today when I recall those words." Now that the 28-year-old has made a name for herself, what's her most cherished memory with her mother? "Asian Games (2018) se aane ke baad jab mera swaagat hua, maa was standing with me in the open jeep as people cheered. The happiness on her face summed up everything for me. That was the moment I started playing for," she replies. Meanwhile, Savitri, who built her daughters' future with her bare hands, shares a simple wish: "Main bahut khush hoti hoon meri beti ko dekh ke. Bas sochti hoon aur achha khele aur aage badhe aur isko aur bahut saphalta mile jeevan mein."...
