'I Use Pressure As A Catalyst', Says Mirabai As Team India Embraces Big-stage Expectations
Indian Olympic Association: Tokyo Olympic silver medallist Mirabai Chanu believes pressure is not something to fear but a driving force behind success, saying her mindset has helped her consistently deliver for India on the biggest stages as Team India continues its impressive campaign at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
"I have always believed that pressure cannot weigh me down. When I compete for India, I use pressure as a catalyst to improve my performance. Mental strength and pressure are closely linked, so I actually love pressure," Mirabai said.
Her words echoed a sentiment that has been prevalent among India’s medal-winning efforts in Glasgow, where athletes from all disciplines have spoken of embracing expectations rather than being weighed down by them. India’s Commonwealth athletes have drawn as much from mental fortitude as from physical preparation to succeed on the big stage, from weightlifting and athletics to boxing.
