LAKSHYA UNFULFILLED

There is a small centre in the brain that is called amygdala. It is tiny compared to other parts of the brain but has a very distinctive function. It controls emotions, anxiety and fear. When fear creeps in, past instances of similar shocks start flashing by. It may lead to the body being shut down and only those vital organs required to escape, like the heart and the limbs, kept functioning. In sport, the amygdala helps control aggression and the mind from going blank. high-performing athletes have an ability to make logical decisions during games, with muscle memory working in tandem. In badminton, when the shuttle travels at a speed of around 400km per hour, the decision-making needs to be faster. reactions need to be sharper, movements quicker. But when doubt creeps in, old memories of turmoil lead to fear. For an athlete, that’s where the contest is often lost.
