Course Overview
Years back, Diego Maradona made a revelation, “Messi a leader? You can’t call someone a leader who goes to the bathroom 20 times before every game. It’s useless to make a leader of a guy like that.” What is wrong with going to the bathroom 20 times? It’s common due to anxiety and stage fright. But what you do to manage it is important.
Recently, Virat Kohli revealed that he suffered from depression and what he did to overcome it. It shows the significance of Sports Psychologists in the sports domain. Not only athletes but the coaches, referees and even the team managers need the support of sports psychologists to keep them cool during hot games without igniting the fire in their belly. Unluckily, we have very less qualified Sports Psychologists to cater to our needs.
