A legacy that continues. A future worth winning. Founded by India's first World Athletics Championships medallist and a Dronacharya award-winning coach, ABSF gives young women athletes elite coaching, sports science and competition exposure — so talent, not circumstance, decides how far they go.
Coaching · Science · Nutrition · Recovery · Education · Competition — one athlete, one ecosystem.
A champion athlete and a champion coach — and the young athletes now walking the same pathway.
In Paris in 2003, Anju Bobby George became the first Indian athlete to win a medal at the World Athletics Championships. A two-time Olympian, she set an Indian women's long jump national record that stood for 22 years — and she competed at the highest level of world athletics with a single kidney.
Today that journey continues at the Anju Bobby High Performance Centre in Kengeri, Bengaluru. Alongside Robert Bobby George — former national triple jump champion and, at 34, the youngest ever recipient of the Dronacharya Award — the Foundation nurtures young women athletes to international excellence through specialised coaching, competition exposure and sustained development.
High performance is built beyond the track. Coaching, sports science, strength and conditioning, nutrition, medical and rehabilitation, accommodation, education and mentorship come together around one athlete and one ambition: sustained excellence.
The goal is bigger than medals. It is creating a generation that sees sport as a real pathway to achievement, independence and leadership.
