He is one of the most sincere and invested coaches I’ve worked with and makes sure that we come up with a solution for any sort of situation or problem.

Sathiyan Gnanasekaran
“Definitely I feel mental health is in fact more important than physical health as far as table tennis is concerned because it’s more of a mental sport ….I have been working taking the mental health seriously, But there is a process to it, so I have been working with the mental conditioning coach. I worked with Mr. Badri Narayanan who was my mental conditioning coach right from 2013… It’s very important to have a systematic approach to how you face an opponent and mentally you are always trained, calm and you think more clearly I think that gives you a better picture and also helps to face difficulties in executing that, so you are more mentally prepared. Definitely it’s very important to stay mentally focused and prepare yourself for the tournaments. It’s also about handling pressure especially in big games.”
