Sports Psychology Division: Abhinav Bindra, India’s first individual Olympics gold medallist in shooting, strongly believes the mental resilience and strength of an athlete is intricately connected to their overall well-being as individuals outside of the sport they compete in.

“The foundation of mental resilience and strength really is formed from how healthy an athlete is mentally as a human being, what kind of balance they have, as that has a very, very direct influence on their mental performance as an athlete. So I think sometimes it's so important to also step back a little bit and first address the athlete as a human being because that forms the foundation of how you're going to perform mentally on the field of play,” said Bindra in a virtual press conference by Mpower to launch AMP: A Sports Psychology Division, dedicated to elevating an athlete’s performance.

“Sometimes we miss that as we're all so focused and so driven in this tunnel vision on how to get better on the field of play. But how we live outside of the field of play has a direct influence on how we'll react in critical moments on the field of play. So it is both aspects, I believe, are very closely linked.
