"This endeavor by Teranikar Sports Foundation aims to introduce exceptionally talented young individuals

from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds to the world of sports."

MAN Behind The MISSION

As a young and hardworking individual, Mr. Mihir Teranikar’s dream of representing India in cricket at the highest level remained unfulfilled due to additional responsibilities. With the support of his mother and grandmother, he seized the opportunity to play club cricket in England.

Despite having to make the difficult decision to leave cricket and support his family, his passion for sports persisted. Daily fitness routines made him realize the pivotal role of physical fitness in athletic performance.

While doing my fitness activities, I wondered how top athletes perform at their highest potential, what is the common basic need of all sports? I realised that it was physical fitness thus I came to the conclusion that the only thing that is capable of empowering athletes and catapulting them through the last mile is high levels of physical fitness.
 
That’s how TF (Teranikers Fitness) was born. For the last 29 years, I have been committed to this goal and I have been able to improve the state of physical fitness of multiple athletes who want to reach their maximum potential in their sport and even individuals who want to incorporate a healthy lifestyle. I have been fortunate to help people of all ages from a little kid to 60 year olds achieve their goals in their own respect. However after 29 years of working with professional athletes and witnessing their triumphs, I have even seen failure of many talented kids who face setbacks like me causing them to forgo their dreams. I strongly wish that no dream should be shattered due to financial setbacks and I have made it my mission to help these athletes in any way possible for me, therefore, I have come to the creation of this platform that I hope will make sure no athlete has to step back from his/her dream.
Our mission is to give wings to the dreams of gifted children who possess an unwavering desire to represent their country at the highest level. Through TSFF, we provide comprehensive support, taking care of all their needs so that these athletes can focus solely on enjoying their game and becoming the best in their respective sports. With my deep understanding of various sports and a fervent passion for helping athletes excel, I am fully committed to assisting individuals in achieving peak performance in their chosen sport. 
 
TSFF aims to connect talented athletes with influential figures in the sports industry. We organize camps, workshops, and events where athletes can network and gain exposure. This exposure may include opportunities such as meeting professional athletes, coaches, and sports administrators, which can open doors for sponsorships, endorsements, and representation at national and international sporting events. 
 
I am thrilled to announce the launch of the Teranikar Fitness Foundation (TSFF), a platform dedicated to empowering exceptional professionals who have the potential to bring honor and glory to our beloved nation in their respective sports. As the founder of TSFF, my burning desire is to provide comprehensive support to talented athletes from deprived socio-economic backgrounds, enabling them to pursue their dreams of representing our country at the highest level. Overall, Teranikar Fitness Foundation provides comprehensive support by addressing the financial, training, mentoring, and networking needs of talented athletes from deprived socio-economic backgrounds, enabling them to pursue their dreams of representing their country in sports. Athletes can expect a personalized approach that caters to their unique needs and goals. 
 
At TSFF, our expertise in sports-specific training, combined with an emphasis on skill development, nutrition, and recovery, will help athletes unlock their full potential in their chosen sport. Athletes – get ready to elevate your performance and achieve your athletic dreams with Ternikar Fitness Foundation.  Join me in this incredible journey of empowerment and the pursuit for greatness. Let’s forge ahead together, unlocking the potential of our talented athletes, and bringing honor and glory to our beloved nation. #TernikarFitnessFoundation #EmpoweringAthletes #UnlockYourPotential.

I've been working with Mihir sir and TF fitness academy for the past few months and I've noticed significant improvements in my performance. I've learned valuable techniques for training my supporting muscles and incorporating exercises that greatly enhance my bike handling skills. These changes have helped me feel more confident and capable while riding. Currently, we're focusing on boosting my overall strength and endurance. Working with Mihir sir has become a crucial aspect of my cycling career.

" मिहिर सरांबद्दल जेवढे बोलू तेवढे कमीच आहे. क्रीडा प्रकारांत पारंगत आणि पारखी नजर असणारे मिहीर सर अतिशय मेहनतीने आज ह्या उंचीवर पोहोचले आहेत. तरीही अतिशय विनम्रतेने त्यांनी स्वतःला फिटनेस ट्रेनिंगला झोकून दिले आहे. सरांचे सातत्यपूर्ण मार्गदर्शन, मानसिक पाठिंबा आणि त्यांनी करून घेतलेल्या अविरत शारीरिक तयारीमुळेच , मी जगातील सर्वात अवघड अशी IRONMAN ही स्पर्धा kazakistan येथे जाऊन 14 तासात यशस्वीरीत्या पूर्ण करु शकलो. सरांच्या हाताखाली तयार झालेले खेळाडू जागतिक पातळीवर आज नावाजले गेले आहेत. त्याबद्दल मला सरांचा खूप अभिमान वाटतो. त्यांच्या पुढील वाटचालीस माझ्याकडून अनेक शुभेच्छा !
