In the highly competitive field of sports, players face multiple layers of pressure. In addition to following a rigorous routine of training and practice, athletes also undergo constant scrutiny related to their performance.
On the outside, the lives of sportspersons may seem perfect with many even wishing to be in their place. But it is only when we look beyond the appearances and performances that the reality seeps in. It is only when we reflect and have conversations about mental health that we realise the inner struggle and high levels of pressure they face in order to meet expectations, perform well and be at the top of their game. It is only when we take a comprehensive look at players’ well-being that we discover the impact of negative comments they receive from viewers and sports fans if they fail to deliver as per expectations.
