Learn with Dr. Priyanka Sarkar: Sports Psychologist and Athlete Well being Specialist

My journey into the captivating world of Sport Psychology was sparked by a momentous event: Rafael Nadal's historic La Decima victory at Roland Garros in 2017. Witnessing the intensity and mental fortitude displayed on the court that day ignited a deep curiosity within me about the psychological intricacies of sports.

Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy and a Master's in Psychology, I embarked on a transformative journey to delve deeper into the profound connection between the mind and athletic performance.

My commitment to understanding the holistic well-being of athletes led me to become the first Sport Psychologist in Bifurcated Andhra Pradesh. Here, I passionately work with a diverse range of athletes, both in individual and team sports, helping them navigate the mental challenges of competition and personal growth.
