Rashmeka Badri Narayanan

Having been a competitive athlete since the age of 10, the experience and exposure made her realise that gaining just technical, tactical and physical competence in a sport wouldn’t assure success, there is one other factor that can differentiate the best from the rest and that is ‘mental skills’. Her passion for sports and experience fostered her to go on and pursue her masters in Sports & Exercise psychology from the United Kingdom. Since then she hasn’t looked back. She has worked with multiple teams including Tamil Nadu Cricket association (TNCA) women U-23 team, the Raman TT academy, Guru Nanak college sports team, the Khelo India sponsored national and international athletes. She also relishes her academic involvement in the field of sports psychology. She was a Lecturer in Sri Ramachandra institute of higher education and research (SRIHER) for the masters students. During her time in SRIHER she was actively involved in research work related to sports psychology. She believes in applying evidence based psychological techniques to help athletes reach their potential and succeed. She has also worked with athletes with injuries to overcome their trauma, pain and help them effectively rehabilitate to better post-injury period and return to sport. She believes psychological techniques combined with CBT can aid any individual to deal and overcome difficult situations positively thereby boosting their overall well-being
