Sunil Chhetri Believes That Sports Disciplines One’s Mind And Body
Sunil Chhetri has left an indelible mark in Indian Football. He is a very strict person when it comes to food and sports. He enlightened us with the fact that if a player has achieved his best performance level or is at his best, then it is crucial to stay in that position. To do so, you have to inculcate the best food practices. He said, “Your mental and physical health has to be optimal for you to perform.”
To maintain your best performance, you can’t just eat anything and everything. One has to be careful about what they put in one’s body. Sunil Chhetri also made it clear that not just food, but mental well-being also contributes to the game. He went on that the person should be really educated and extremely healthy if they want to be a sportsperson and that’s pretty much the only way.
