Harmanpreet, die schon in jungen Jahren mit dem Kricketspiel begann und heute Kapit\u00e4nin der indischen Frauennationalmannschaft ist, spielte mit M\u00e4nnern, weil es keine M\u00e4dchenmannschaft gab. Als ihr Schulleiter ihr Talent bemerkte, trat er an sie heran, um eine Cricket-Akademie f\u00fcr M\u00e4dchen zu gr\u00fcnden. Um das Bewusstsein daf\u00fcr zu sch\u00e4rfen, dass Cricket auch ein M\u00e4dchenspiel ist, brachte Harmanpreet ein Team von M\u00e4dchen zusammen, um sich f\u00fcr den weiblichen Cricket-Sport einzusetzen. Auch heute noch ist sie ein Vorbild f\u00fcr den Wandel.<\/span>\n<br\/>CATch Up hatte die Gelegenheit, mit Harmanpreet \u00fcber die M\u00f6glichkeiten f\u00fcr Frauen im Kricket, ihre pers\u00f6nlichen Erfahrungen und ihre Arbeit mit PUMA zur F\u00f6rderung des Frauensports in Indien zu sprechen.

Mein Vater hat fr\u00fcher einige Sportarten gespielt, und Kricket war eine davon. Er ist meine gr\u00f6\u00dfte Inspiration: Dank ihm konnte ich diesen Sport betreiben. Zu Hause gab es damals kein Frauenkricket.<strong> Ich habe nur mit Jungs gespielt<\/strong> und mit meinem Vater. Aber eines Tages kam mein Schuldirektor zu mir und sagte, dass er mir seit fast sechs Monaten beim Spielen zugesehen hatte, und er fragte mich, warum ich Kricket spielen wollte. Damals gab es noch sieben oder acht andere Sportarten - aber ich habe immer nur mit meinen Freunden Kricket gespielt. Und er sagte zu mir: \"Sieh dich um, es gibt so viele andere Sportarten, die du einfach spielen kannst. Warum sich abm\u00fchen und Kricket spielen, das nicht sehr ber\u00fchmt ist? Hockey war die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Sportart, nicht Kricket. Ich habe ihm ganz klar gesagt, dass ich Kricket spielen m\u00f6chte, dass Kricket mein Traum ist und ich Kricketspieler werden m\u00f6chte. <strong>Da sagte er mir, dass er eine Kricket-Akademie f\u00fcr mich er\u00f6ffnen w\u00fcrde.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Das war ein Wendepunkt in meinem Leben. Ich fing an, zur Cricket-Akademie zu gehen, und ich ging in jedes Klassenzimmer und fragte alle M\u00e4dchen, ob sie kommen und mich unterst\u00fctzen k\u00f6nnten, weil ich Cricket spielen wollte, und daf\u00fcr brauchte ich ein Team. Ich brauchte andere M\u00e4dchen. Ich konnte das Spiel erst in Angriff nehmen, wenn ich ein Team hatte.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Hielten Sie es wirklich f\u00fcr m\u00f6glich, dass Frauen Kricket spielen k\u00f6nnen, bevor der Schulleiter auf Sie zukam? <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Harmanpreet: Wenn mein Direktor nicht auf mich zugekommen w\u00e4re, um die Cricket-Akademie f\u00fcr Frauen zu er\u00f6ffnen, h\u00e4tte ich den Sport wohl nicht als Profi betreiben k\u00f6nnen. Es gab keine andere M\u00f6glichkeit f\u00fcr mich.<strong> Ich habe kein einziges M\u00e4dchen Kricket spielen sehen - oder irgendeine andere Sportart, was das betrifft.<\/strong> Ich komme aus einer sehr kleinen Stadt, in der nur Jungen und M\u00e4nner alle Sportarten aus\u00fcbten, aber keine M\u00e4dchen.<br\/>\n<br\/>Ich war bereits in der 11. Klasse, als wir die Akademie er\u00f6ffneten - ein Jahr sp\u00e4ter ging ich auf die Universit\u00e4t. Damals musste ich mich entscheiden, ob ich nur studieren oder auch Sport machen wollte. Ich war in allen Sportarten gut, aber Kricket war etwas, das mir sehr am Herzen lag. Ich wollte immer sehr gut im Kricket sein, weil es in Indien so ber\u00fchmt ist. Es ist immer im Fernsehen zu sehen.<br\/>\n<br\/>Meine Familie hat mich sehr unterst\u00fctzt und mich nie vom Spielen abgehalten. Sie fanden es in Ordnung, dass ich mit Jungen spielte. <strong>Aber die Leute kamen immer zu meinen Eltern und sagten: \"Sie spielt mit Jungs? Das ist nicht das Richtige.<\/strong> Warum erlauben Sie ihr, mit Jungen zu spielen? Sie sollte einen Sport spielen, der Frauen vorbehalten ist. Aber meine Familie hat mich trotzdem unterst\u00fctzt und war sich dar\u00fcber im Klaren, dass sie mich nicht vom Spielen abhalten w\u00fcrde. Als ich die M\u00f6glichkeit bekam, an der Akademie zu spielen, waren sie diejenigen, die mich dorthin brachten. Sie haben auf mich gewartet, damit sich die Dinge eines Tages \u00e4ndern und die Menschen ihre Kinder nicht davon abhalten, Sport zu treiben.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong>Wussten Sie, dass es eine professionelle indische Frauen-Cricketmannschaft gibt? K\u00f6nnten Sie sich vorstellen, jemals professionell zu spielen?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Harmanpreet: Ehrlich gesagt, nein. Als ich meinen Schuldirektor traf und er mich fragte, ob ich Kricket spielen wolle, <strong>Meine erste Frage war: \u201cSpielen M\u00e4dchen Kricket?\u201d.<\/strong> Denn ich hatte noch nie ein M\u00e4dchen Kricket spielen sehen und auch kein einziges Spiel im Fernsehen verfolgt. Er sagte mir, dass er die Frauenmannschaft gesehen habe, dass sie auch Indien vertrete und dass ich, wenn ich gut genug sei, auch zu dieser Mannschaft geh\u00f6ren k\u00f6nne. Und von diesem Tag an war es mein Traum, dorthin zu kommen. Mein Traum war es, mit ihnen zu spielen und etwas Gro\u00dfes f\u00fcr mein Land zu erreichen. Ich glaube, als ich ihn traf, waren die ersten 30\/40 Minuten ein Gespr\u00e4ch \u00fcber die Dinge, von denen ich immer getr\u00e4umt hatte. Ich hatte ein klares Bild von meinem Ziel vor Augen und wusste, dass ich es tats\u00e4chlich erreichen kann. Das war ein v\u00f6llig neuer Moment f\u00fcr mich.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row two columns -->\n<div class=\"row rowTwoColumnsWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>In der Kampagne hei\u00dft es \u201cKricket ist ein Spiel f\u00fcr alle\u201d. Wie hat sich Ihre Wahrnehmung dieser Aussage im Laufe der Zeit ver\u00e4ndert? Glauben Sie, dass dies heute noch zutrifft?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Harmanpreet: Ich glaube, daran arbeiten wir noch. In der Kampagne, die mich als PUMA-Botschafterin eingef\u00fchrt hat, wird das deutlich. Als sie die \u00d6ffentlichkeit aufforderten, zu erraten, wer der n\u00e4chste Markenbotschafter sein wird, <strong>80% der Befragten denken, dass der n\u00e4chste Botschafter m\u00e4nnlich sein wird. Nur 20% der Befragten dachten an eine weibliche Athletin.<\/strong> Aber ich denke, dass sich die Dinge jetzt \u00e4ndern - und PUMA unternimmt gro\u00dfe Anstrengungen, um diese \u00c4nderungen zu erreichen. Ich denke, wir m\u00fcssen diese Kampagnen weiterhin durchf\u00fchren. Wir m\u00fcssen dieses Bewusstsein in Indien und sogar weltweit verbreiten, damit die Menschen Frauen im Sport unterst\u00fctzen k\u00f6nnen. Ich denke, die Dinge \u00e4ndern sich, und wir sind immer noch in der Phase, in der wir uns f\u00fcr all diese Ver\u00e4nderungen einsetzen m\u00fcssen.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Was muss Ihrer Meinung nach noch getan werden, um die Rolle der Frauen im Kricket zu st\u00e4rken und ihre Sichtbarkeit zu erh\u00f6hen?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Harmanpreet: Ich habe immer davon getr\u00e4umt und dar\u00fcber nachgedacht, wie wir mehr M\u00e4dchen f\u00fcr den Sport begeistern k\u00f6nnen. PUMA hat dabei eine sehr gro\u00dfe Rolle gespielt und uns sehr unterst\u00fctzt: die Kampagne, mit der wir das Bewusstsein daf\u00fcr sch\u00e4rfen, dass die Menschen auch dar\u00fcber nachdenken k\u00f6nnen, wie <strong>auch Frauen k\u00f6nnen das Spiel ver\u00e4ndern<\/strong> und die Champions. Ich hoffe wirklich, dass diese Kampagne dazu beitragen wird, diesen Wandel herbeizuf\u00fchren - nicht nur f\u00fcr Kricket, sondern auch f\u00fcr andere Sportarten.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Wie motiviert Sie Ihre Vorbildfunktion, mehr f\u00fcr Frauen zu tun?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Harmanpreet: Als Kapit\u00e4nin trage ich die Verantwortung. Ich kann das Spiel ver\u00e4ndern, ich kann die Verantwortung \u00fcbernehmen und diese kleinen \u00c4nderungen vornehmen, damit wir auf dem Feld selbstbewusst auftreten k\u00f6nnen, damit wir das Bewusstsein bekommen. Ich war immer der Meinung, dass eines der wichtigsten Dinge auch die Fitness ist. Wenn man athletischer ist, wenn man geistig und k\u00f6rperlich besser vorbereitet ist, kann man diese Ver\u00e4nderungen immer bewirken. Als ich zum Team kam, haben wir uns mehr auf unsere F\u00e4higkeiten verlassen. Wir konzentrieren uns darauf, das Bewusstsein in Indien zu sch\u00e4rfen, um mehr Menschen zum Sport zu bringen. <strong>Es lebe der Sport<\/strong> Kampagne, die k\u00fcrzlich gestartet wurde. <strong>Wir glauben wirklich, dass Sport f\u00fcr alle notwendig ist: Jeder kann jede Sportart aus\u00fcben.<\/strong> Sport kann Ihr Leben ver\u00e4ndern. Sport kann uns k\u00f6rperlich und geistig stark machen. Wann immer sich eine Gelegenheit bietet, diese Ver\u00e4nderung herbeizuf\u00fchren, bin ich zur Stelle, und ich m\u00f6chte den Frauenkricket-Sport auf die n\u00e4chste Stufe bringen, damit unser Land eines Tages durch den Frauenkricket-Sport anerkannt wird. Das ist mein Ziel. Und die PUMA-Familie hilft mir, diese Initiative zu ergreifen.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Wie nutzen Sie Ihre Rolle als Kapit\u00e4n der indischen Kricketmannschaft, um sich f\u00fcr Ver\u00e4nderungen einzusetzen?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Harmanpreet: Als Kapit\u00e4nin m\u00f6chte ich eine starke Mannschaft aufbauen, die immer zusammenh\u00e4lt und sich gegenseitig hilft. Ich m\u00f6chte ein Team aufbauen, das viel ver\u00e4ndern kann. Alle meine Mitspielerinnen sind sehr hilfsbereit: Sie haben immer ein offenes Ohr und tun alles, was f\u00fcr die Mannschaft notwendig ist. Ich denke, wenn man solche Teamkollegen hat, f\u00e4llt einem die Rolle des Kapit\u00e4ns sehr leicht. Ich bin sehr dankbar, dass ich ein so tolles Team habe. F\u00fcr mich ist es sehr wichtig, ein starkes Team zu bilden, und ich arbeite immer darauf hin.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row two columns -->\n<div class=\"row rowTwoColumnsWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Wie kann PUMA Ihrer Meinung nach dazu beitragen, diesen Wandel f\u00fcr Frauen voranzutreiben? <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Harmanpreet: Die Kampagne \"Let There Be Sport\" wird definitiv eine gro\u00dfe Rolle spielen. Und auch in der Zukunft,<strong> Ich bin sicher, dass PUMA immer da sein wird, um eine M\u00f6glichkeit zu schaffen, dieses Bewusstsein zu schaffen, alle Sportarten zu f\u00f6rdern und alle Frauen und M\u00e4dchen zu ermutigen, jeden Sport zu betreiben.<\/strong> Ich bin sicher, dass diese kleinen Schritte Gro\u00dfes bewirken k\u00f6nnen. Ich denke, wir sind auf dem richtigen Weg und m\u00fcssen nur weiter die richtige Arbeit leisten. Allein diese Kampagne wird viele Menschen dazu motivieren, mit dem Kricketspielen anzufangen.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Haben Sie schon bemerkt, dass Frauen motivierter sind, Kricket zu spielen?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Harmanpreet: Ja! <strong>Der Start der Kampagne, bei der es darum ging, dass Kricket ein Spiel f\u00fcr jedermann ist, stie\u00df auf so gro\u00dfe Resonanz.<\/strong> Wir haben so viele unterst\u00fctzende Nachrichten erhalten. Wir haben Kricket nicht immer als ein Spiel f\u00fcr jedermann angesehen, aber jetzt ist es so sch\u00f6n zu sehen, wie die Leute mit Hashtags daf\u00fcr werben, dass Kricket tats\u00e4chlich ein Spiel f\u00fcr jedermann ist. Es ist ein so einfacher Satz, aber er sagt so viel aus.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><br\/><strong>Was w\u00fcnschen Sie sich f\u00fcr das Kricket in der Zukunft?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Harmanpreet: Wenn ich \u00fcber unser Team spreche, dann haben wir so viele Jahre lang hart gearbeitet, und deshalb wollen wir f\u00fcr unser Land einen gro\u00dfen Titel gewinnen. Wenn man einen gro\u00dfen Titel f\u00fcr sein Land gewinnt, ist man immer sehr stolz. Und unsere Mannschaft schl\u00e4gt sich so gut! Wir erreichen bei allen Turnieren das Endspiel oder das Halbfinale. Wenn es uns gelingt, diesen Titel zu erringen, kann das meiner Meinung nach auch zu Hause in Indien viel bewirken. Dieses Jahr haben wir die <strong>ODI-Weltmeisterschaft<\/strong> bei den M\u00e4nnern und n\u00e4chstes Jahr bei den Frauen. Ich denke, diese Turniere spielen eine gro\u00dfe Rolle bei der Einf\u00fchrung dieser Ver\u00e4nderungen.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Sie sind in Ihrer Karriere schon sehr weit gekommen. Was sind Ihre n\u00e4chsten Ziele?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Harmanpreet: Ich m\u00f6chte den gro\u00dfen Titel f\u00fcr mein Land holen. Wir haben bereits darauf hingearbeitet, und als Team m\u00fcssen wir zusammenhalten, wir m\u00fcssen Dinge gemeinsam tun.

My dad used to play a couple of sports and cricket was one of them. He is my biggest inspiration: because of him, I was able to take on the sport. Back home at that time, there was no women\u2019s cricket.\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt; I was only playing with boys\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and with my dad. But one day, my school principal came to me and said that he had been watching me play for almost six months, and he asked me why I wanted to play cricket. Back then, there were seven or eight other sports happening \u2013 but I was only ever playing cricket with my friends. And he said to me, look around, there are so many other sports where you can easily go and play. Why struggle and play cricket which is not very famous? Hockey was the biggest sport, not cricket. I just told him clearly that I wanted to play cricket, that cricket is my dream and I want to become a cricketer. \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;That\u2019s when he told me that he would open a cricket academy for me.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;That was a turning point in my life. I started going to the cricket academy and I went to every classroom and asked all the girls if they can come and support me because I want to play cricket and in order to do so, I need a team.

At that time, I had to decide whether I wanted to only study or do sport. I was good in all sports, but cricket was something which was very close to my heart. I always wanted to do really well in cricket because it is so famous in India. It is always on TV.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;For me, my family were so supportive and never stopped me from playing.

That is not the right thing.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; Why are you allowing her to play with boys? She should play a sport that belongs to women. But my family still supported me and were very clear that they were not going to stop me from playing. So once I got the opportunity to play at the academy, they were the ones taking me there.

And from that day forward my dream was to reach there. My dream was to play with them and to do something big for my country. I think when I met him, the first 30\/40 minutes was a conversation on the things I used to dream about. It was a clear picture of my goal, and that I could actually reach it.

I always felt one of the biggest things is also fitness. If you are more athletic, if you are more ready mentally and physically, you can always bring those changes. And when I joined the team, we depended more on our skill.

My dad used to play a couple of sports and cricket was one of them. He is my biggest inspiration: because of him, I was able to take on the sport. Back home at that time, there was no women\u2019s cricket.\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt; I was only playing with boys\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and with my dad. But one day, my school principal came to me and said that he had been watching me play for almost six months, and he asked me why I wanted to play cricket. Back then, there were seven or eight other sports happening \u2013 but I was only ever playing cricket with my friends. And he said to me, look around, there are so many other sports where you can easily go and play. Why struggle and play cricket which is not very famous? Hockey was the biggest sport, not cricket. I just told him clearly that I wanted to play cricket, that cricket is my dream and I want to become a cricketer. \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;That\u2019s when he told me that he would open a cricket academy for me.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;That was a turning point in my life. I started going to the cricket academy and I went to every classroom and asked all the girls if they can come and support me because I want to play cricket and in order to do so, I need a team. I needed other girls. I could only take the game ahead once I had a team.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Did you think it was really possible for women to play cricket before the principal approached you? \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Harmanpreet: If my principal did not approach me to open the cricket academy for women, I don\u2019t think I would have been able to pursue the game as a professional. There was no option for me.\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt; I did not see any single girl play cricket \u2013 or any other sports for that matter.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; I come from a very small town where only boys and men were playing all the sports, but not girls.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;I was already in 11th grade when we opened the academy \u2013 I was going to university a year later. At that time, I had to decide whether I wanted to only study or do sport. I was good in all sports, but cricket was something which was very close to my heart. I always wanted to do really well in cricket because it is so famous in India. It is always on TV.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;For me, my family were so supportive and never stopped me from playing. They were okay with me playing with boys. \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;But people used to come to my parents and were saying, she\u2019s playing with boys? That is not the right thing.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; Why are you allowing her to play with boys? She should play a sport that belongs to women. But my family still supported me and were very clear that they were not going to stop me from playing. So once I got the opportunity to play at the academy, they were the ones taking me there. They were the ones waiting for me to make things change one day, where people will not stop their children from playing any sport.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Were you aware there was a professional Indian women\u2019s cricket team?

He said to me that he watched the women\u2019s team, that they also represent India and if I was good enough, I could also be a part of that team. And from that day forward my dream was to reach there. My dream was to play with them and to do something big for my country. I think when I met him, the first 30\/40 minutes was a conversation on the things I used to dream about. It was a clear picture of my goal, and that I could actually reach it.

Only 20% of the people thought about a female athlete.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; But I think things are changing now \u2013 and PUMA is putting in a lot of effort to make those changes. I think we have to keep doing these campaigns. We must keep bringing this awareness back home in India and even globally, where people can support women in sport.

I always felt one of the biggest things is also fitness. If you are more athletic, if you are more ready mentally and physically, you can always bring those changes. And when I joined the team, we depended more on our skill. Now the fitness is something which we have been working really hard on, we are focussing on raising awareness in India to bring more people into sport through \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Let There Be Sport\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; campaign launched recently. \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;We really believe that sport is necessary for everyone: everyone can play any sport.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; Sport can change your life.

Harmanpreet, die schon in jungen Jahren mit dem Kricketspiel begann und heute Kapit\u00e4nin der indischen Frauennationalmannschaft ist, spielte mit M\u00e4nnern, weil es keine M\u00e4dchenmannschaft gab. Als ihr Schulleiter ihr Talent bemerkte, trat er an sie heran, um eine Cricket-Akademie f\u00fcr M\u00e4dchen zu gr\u00fcnden. Um das Bewusstsein daf\u00fcr zu sch\u00e4rfen, dass Cricket auch ein M\u00e4dchenspiel ist, brachte Harmanpreet ein Team von M\u00e4dchen zusammen, um sich f\u00fcr den weiblichen Cricket-Sport einzusetzen. Auch heute noch ist sie ein Vorbild f\u00fcr den Wandel.\nCATch Up hatte die Gelegenheit, mit Harmanpreet \u00fcber die M\u00f6glichkeiten f\u00fcr Frauen im Kricket, ihre pers\u00f6nlichen Erfahrungen und ihre Arbeit mit PUMA zur F\u00f6rderung des Frauensports in Indien zu sprechen.
