Indian sports performance often highlights the phrase “so close yet so far” especially in major sporting events like Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games ad World Championships. Among the various factors, the mental strength and lack of professional mental support and preparation has often been questioned recently.
SPAI, the pioneer association of Sports Psychology in India with its affiliation with International Society of Sports Psychology (ISSP) and ASPAP understands the organisational responsibility in turning the tables and letting better podium finish for Indian athletes.
With the initiation of certification programme, Sports Psychology Association of India aims to provide resources, training and create a platform for sports psychologists to get equipped, grow, develop, network and collaborate for supporting Indian sports. Strengthening collaborations between sports federations, sports academies, training centres, and sports science professionals, could enhance its impact. Additionally, organizing workshops and seminars could help educate coaches, athletes, and parents about the benefits of sports psychology.
The time and considerable energy devoted to strategic execution of SPAI projects and schemes, and diverse committees constituted, which are updated on the website would enable better functioning of the association. The continued publication of our official journal and the organising of the prestigious annual national conference needs to be prioritised and taken up in the best interests and progress of the association.
Considering the opportune to engage with SPAI, and continued relationship and interactive reciprocal communication lets make our growth more exiting.
