"You’re the master of your game. You’ve been involved in the game since your childhood. Being a consistent and talented player you love the sport with all your heart. The sport has made you who you are today!"

One day, all of a sudden your knee hurts. You don’t take it seriously and continue your sport. But later on, it hurts the worst and you’re unable to do your daily chores. You consult a specialist and you find out- it’s a knee injury. The specialist tells you that you need to give your knee rest for couple of months or it may take more than a year. You are devastated. Then you think of those famous players who faced the same scenario and are still playing .You regain your mental strength.

Three years later, you are on field again and you have become the best player of your nation. Many companies want you to be their brand ambassador and you have all your dreams come true! You know why?

This is because of that injury you had three years back. Injury is a challenge that most athletes face at some point in their career. Now,point is how you respond to those injuries is what makes you. That is why, injuries are our best teachers and they make comeback sweeter. Of course, you might have the on flow of negative emotions such as loss of health, loss of self-confidence, loss of self- esteem and invincibility but if these are directed positively, they help you grow.

Your optimism level grows during a setback because you know that what has happened is worst and now nothing can be more worst. So once you recover, you know that you can go through that pain. Moreover, you try to fill in the gap between you and your love (the game) that you had created for few years. You become mentally stronger. You believe that you have nothing to fear from. This surely boosts up your performance. So it no more matters to you how strong you are physically because the only strength you believe in is the mental strength.
