Every individual athlete undergoes a thorough medical examination in which valuable family history details and medical records of the particular athlete are documented systematically, which brings to light any hidden medical disorder which can potentially threaten the athlete’s performance and future. Our physician conducts a thorough examination of the athlete, including all vital systems such as the cardiac, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems, in order to enhance their performance levels. We utilize the services of biomechanical experts and physiotherapists in providing subtle changes in the techniques of play that can, to a large extent, lead to an improvement in the standards of the individual players. We also make sure to assess the optimal zone of functionality of each individual athlete, offering them emotional support in times of repeated failures, priming them to accept both victories and defeats gracefully, and providing individual attention to female athletes. Our expert sports nutritionist collaborates with the athlete to create a diet plan, nutritional supplements, and performance-enhancing supplements that are tailored to their specific needs.
