Testimonials
“I must admit Kunashni comes across someone who has profound knowledge and a very good understanding of Sports Psychology.
Her explanation related to the importance of Mental Health for an Athlete was not only effective but also was lucid and easily understandable. Considering the fact that she herself was a Sportsperson, she has the ability to empathize with Athletes and strike a better and long lasting professional relationship with them.
I felt she had an approachable nature and was immensely mature as a Sports Psychologist. I certainly feel she has the potential to be among the best Psychologists the Sports Industry has seen in the years to come.”

“The Webinar had a good mood and was to the point and everything was nicely explained. Kunashni ma’am explained us very efficiently how to deal with the current (pandemic) situation. We were also given many Pointers which were very true and helped us to excel ahead. All the attendees were full of zeal and zest after the webinar. It motivated all of us to grow in sports and other aspects of life too. I whole heartedly thank Kunashni and the whole group at Rotary Club of Mumbai Champions who organized the webinar.”

“There is a lot of stress around in a sport and our daily lives. I do believe one needs mental advice to overcome our stress and to find ways how to deal with different obstacles and decision which did not go our way. It was indeed a privilege to have a session with Kunashni Ma’am and to get fine insights on how to overcome mental strengths and how to deal with various situations in our life and sport. Was really a fruitful session to take home remedies to overcome and build good mental strength which is vital to get the best positive results.”

“It was getting really difficult for me to concentrate on the sport any more. Sessions with Kunashni helped me get to know more about myself, my goals and importance of the sport in my life. I eventually could perform well on and off the field. Kunashni is a person who understands your issues really well and has experience in the sports industry. She has a lot of patience and makes sure you take the right steps. Her main focus is to make sure we get better in every step we take. I would like to thank Kunashni a lot for helping me get better in my day to day life and work towards my sports career back again.”
