Patrick Anthony Howard Upton, a well-known mental conditioning coach, was attached with the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Indian team that famously clinched the 2011 World Cup to become the first ever host nation to do that in 36-year history of the tournament. In the just-concluded IPL season, the South African was the head coach of the Rajasthan Royals. Upton has a special relationship with former India and Rajasthan Royals captain Rahul Dravid, whom he admires as a true gentleman whose interests go well beyond sport. He talks about Dravid in detail in his book ‘The Barefoot Coach’ (Published by Westland Sport; Pages: 377; Price: Rs.799).
