Amit Gadkari: Ensuring Mental Well-Being of Student-Athletes
Amit: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. Our primary focus is on the mental well-being and performance enhancement of student-athletes. We typically categorize student-athletes as those students who are engaged in competitive sports. They are subject to immense pressure both on and off the field. Our qualified sports psychologists work with them at an individual as well as group level where they focus on their holistic development. With our mental conditioning program, key issues such as performance pressure, fear of failure, lack of motivation, peer pressure, and handling failure are tackled through personalized programs. Apart from this, we work with parents and coaches as statistics have indicated them to be a primary reason for a student-athlete to quit the sport at an early age.
