The COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected lakhs of people worldwide, has led to the suspension of most sporting activities across the globe. “It is a challenging time for all sportspersons. They were supposed to be playing, they would have set goals. It is a good time to reassess goals and look ahead,” said Badrinath, who recently launched MFORE -- a non-profit initiative offering mind skill training.
The 39-year-old, who played two Tests and seven ODIs, said the break could also help sportspersons to get rid of niggles. “Many of them will have small pain in their body while playing and now is a good time to repair and get rid of all those. When given a task in the future, you can feel fresh physically,” he said.
“It is also a good time to invest in your body, to invest in your emotional health, to invest in your mental health and all these things,” he added.
