I’m Dr. Priyanka Sarkar, and my journey into sports psychology began in 2017. Watching Rafael Nadal claim his historic La Decima victory at Roland Garros inspired me to explore the untold story of mental strength behind athletic excellence.With a Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy and a Master’s in Psychology, I set out to explore the psychological complexities that inﬂuence athletic performance. After spending 8 years in the IT industry, I felt a strong calling to understand the powerful connection between the mind and sport. This led me to pursue my passion and become the ﬁrst Sport Psychologist in the newly bifurcated Andhra Pradesh, where I now work with athletes across a wide range of disciplines, both individual and team sports, helping them unlock their full mental potential.I believe that when an athlete walks into a Sport Psychologist's office, they bring their entire world with them. This fuels my commitment to addressing not only the performance aspects but also the holistic well-being of the athletes I work with. My approach is rooted in aligning an athlete's personal values with their professional philosophies, fostering a synergy that transcends the playing ﬁeld.As a practitioner, I am dedicated to creating a supportive and empowering environment where athletes can explore their mental landscape, overcome challenges, and unlock their full potential. My work extends beyond performance enhancement to encompass the development of resilient and well-balanced individuals.
