Mental Stress and Knee Pain
Hello. This Covid-19 pandemic has affected me a lot physically and mentally. Being a professional Badminton Player I am not able to practice and also all the tournaments have been cancelled which is affecting my badminton career also. It's takes many years' practice to perform better and due to lockdown and no practice all my hardwork which i did for so many years is going down to zero. In sports you just need to just practice and practice to become better and there is no alternative to this. Badminton is an indoor sport and it cannot be practiced anywhere outside. This mental stress is forcing me to push my limits on workouts and after doing just minimal workout it is resulting in knee pain. Is this really a knee pain or is it only because of the mental pressure I'm in? Because of this mental stress I'm not able to focus on anything else and cannot concentrate on other things. Please suggest me something on which i can work on to improve my focus & mental as well as physical health.

I understand your predicament. Your concerns are justified indeed. Nevertheless, I would like you to take a step back and reflect on what has brought you so far as a Badminton player. Isn't it your love for the game? As you know, Success and Excellence are two different terms. Success is a byproduct of your journey towards excellence in your field/craft. Believing that you are in the rat race towards being ' The Best ' and constantly indulging in thoughts on the same could induce fear, anger, frustration, and so on whenever something does not work out in your favor. But, if your focus is always on being ' Your Best ', and if your aspirations are fueled by your love for your game and that alone, then, no matter what the circumstances are, you will figure out ways to keep yourself in top form, learn techniques and strategies and always make sure you are on the learning path. Luck = preparation meeting opportunity. When you are committed towards excellence or proficiency in your craft, success is inevitable.

Hi, Do understand your problem and the stress you undergoing. Now things are getting slightly better and good days are going to come soon. Mental stress do have an impact on physical health. Probably the reason for your knee pain could be lack of physical exercises or stress. Trust in yourself and can regain your skills by putting slightly more effort. Its just a matter of time. You can probably focus on your area of interest, developing new hobbies or skills and exploring new opportunities. Best wishes!
