Indian men’s hockey team defender Jarmanpreet Singh on Friday stressed on the importance of mental fitness as they prepare for the Tokyo Olympic amid a raging COVID-19 pandemic.
The 24-year-old has been training at SAI centre in Bengaluru as part of the Senior Core Group ahead of the Olympics.
‘I feel mental fitness is as important as physical fitness to deal with the current situations. A player needs to be mentally strong,and for that, we have been helping each other,’ said Jarmanpreet.
India were supposed to play their FIH Pro League away matches against Great Britain, Spain and Germany this month but the ties were postponed due to travel restrictions imposed in the wake of a surge in COVID-19 cases.
‘We communicate with each other, we try to create a positive environment around so that everyone stays in a happy zone. I feel because of this, there’s a very good team bonding, which has been helping us with our preparations for the Olympics,’ he said.
Asked how he is preparing for the Tokyo Games, Jarmanpreet said, ‘My focus remains only on giving my best, with the full energy, and trying to improve each and every day at the training.’
