About me
Purva Jain is a senior sports writer for Essentially Sports. With her expertise
in surfing, Purva has a deep passion for the ocean and a love for the thrill of
big waves. Author of ?Gold and Brown?, ?Chasing the North Star? and ?Light
Beneath the Shadows?, Purva idolizes Kelly Slater, taking to heart his famous
quote, "There's always a wave you want to surf." This mentality has led Purva to
explore various sports such as MMA, bodybuilding, and NHL. While Purva draws
inspiration from sports icons like Slater and Laird Hamilton, she also looks to
action-comedy star Jackie Chan for inspiration. Purva admires Chan's philosophy
of finding humor in adversity, and his versatility, which reflects in her own
work. From bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger to ice hockey God Wayne
Gretzky, Purva's writing covers a wide range of sports and personalities. When
she's not putting words to paper, Purva can be found sitting in her quiet
corner, looking for the next big wave.
