Empowering Athletes, Coaches and Support staff with Practical mind Set tools to thrive in high-Performance Sports.
I’ve lived the athlete life — playing basketball at the state level and earning a Blue Belt in Judo — and now, as a qualified Sport & Exercise Psychologist, I bring that firsthand experience into every session I lead. My passion lies in supporting athletes to thrive holistically — not just in their performance, but in their well-being. I’m committed to making mental skills training accessible across the Indian sports ecosystem and promoting awareness around athlete mental health at every level.
Think. Train. Thrive. is Maithili Bhuptani’s groundbreaking guide to unlocking the mental edge in sport. Written for Indian athletes, coaches, and anyone chasing peak performance, the book shows how to train the mind like a muscle—making mental skills as integral as physical training. Packed with practical tools, relatable stories, and performance routines, it breaks the stigma around sport psychology and reframes it as a performance mindset. Whether you’re preparing for your first competition or the world stage, Think. Train. Thrive. gives you clarity to think, courage to train with faith, and purpose to thrive.
Think of the mind like a muscle. To be strong under pressure, it needs reps. It needs recovery. It needs strategy. At my Mind Gym, we train the brain the same way athletes train their bodies — with purpose, structure, and science. From visualisation drills to pre-match routines, from managing nerves to sharpening focus, every session is designed to build your mental game. This isn’t therapy in disguise. It’s high-performance training — just for the mind. For too long in India, psychologists were seen as a last resort — someone to call when something goes wrong. But that’s changing. The narrative is shifting from “fixing problems” to “building advantage.” Athletes are now realising that mental skills can be the edge that sets them apart. Working with a sport psychologist doesn’t mean something’s broken — it means you’re serious about growth. It means you’re here to win — not just physically, but mentally.

Absolutely. Your privacy is a top priority. All sessions are conducted in a safe, non-judgmental space, and nothing is shared without your permission — unless required by law or safety concerns.
Yes! Just like strength or speed, mental toughness, focus, and confidence are skills you can build with the right techniques and consistent practice. That’s exactly what we work on together.
Yes — I run group workshops, team sessions, and long-term programs for academies, schools, and federations. These are designed to build a shared performance mindset, enhance communication, and strengthen team culture.
It varies by individual, but many athletes start noticing shifts within just a few sessions. Some prefer ongoing support across a season, while others come in during key phases like injury recovery or competition prep. We’ll find what works best for you.
Not at all. Mental training is about building strengths, not just fixing problems. Just like fitness training, it works best when integrated consistently, not just in moments of crisis.
No. Mental skills are for athletes at every level—youth, recreational, professional, or even corporate professionals who want to use the performance mindset in their daily lives.
