	Nisha Warsi had modest aspirations as a child. She had always had a strong desire to participate in sports, but she wanted to do it in a way that would not drain her parents’ bank account.

	At one point, social barriers forced Nisha to quit the game. However, her coach Siwach convinced her parents to allow her to chase her dreams. Thankfully, the break was brief. "The ground was about 30 minutes away and she had to leave home by 4.30 am. Nisha was scared to travel alone. Nisha's father would drop her on his bicycle and my mother would be up and about at 4 am to start her daily chores which began with waking Nisha up and making breakfast. In time, Nisha became a regular member of the Haryana team and later the Railways unit. The earnings made life at home a lot more comfortable.<ref>{{cite news \|title=Tokyo olympics 2020: हॉकी प्लेयर निशा वारसी के लिए मां ने फैक्ट्री में किया काम, परेशानियों से नहीं मानी हार, अब बेटी ओलंपिक में कर रही दम \|url=https://www.patrika.com/sports-news/tokyo-olympics-2020-indian-hockey-player-nisha-warsi-struggle-story-6989887/ \|access-date=12 August 2021 \|agency=Patrika}}</ref>		At one point, social barriers forced Nisha to quit the game.

She made her international debut in 2019 at the FIH Finals Series in Hiroshima and has since earned nine India caps.

Cut to 2021, and Nisha is headed for the Tokyo Olympics.<ref>{{cite web |title=Women's hockey stars Nisha Warsi and Neha Goyal: Childhood friends living the Olympic dream together |url=https://www.espn.in/olympics/summer/field-hockey/story/_/id/31867692/tokyo-2020-olympics-india-women-hockey-stars-nisha-warsi-neha-goyal-childhood-friends-living-olympic-dream-together |website=ESPN}}</ref> She harbours the dream of standing on the podium, arms interlinked with her India hockey teammates and making the country and her parents proud.
