The India men’s cricket team’s assistant coach, Abhishek Nayar advised young cricketers to work on skill sets and not derive satisfaction merely from performances.
Speaking at an event staged by Cricketers’ Foundation at MIG Club, Bandra, recently, where 75 cricketers from Mumbai Cricket Association’s boys under-14 and 16, and girls under-15 and 19 teams were each presented with cricket kits and shoes, Nayar said: “Mental toughness comes from the belief in your skill sets. When you graduate into the open category, the key to success will be the skill sets. When your skill sets are good, you will get confidence in yourself and become mentally strong. Try to develop skills. The better your skills, the better will be your mind.”
