The former world No. 2, Casper Ruud, has opened up about the crucial role of sports psychology in his journey as a professional athlete. He first addressed his mental health challenges while preparing for his inaugural Masters win in Madrid. Ruud emphasized that mental resilience is just as important as physical training in the world of sports.
During his rise in the tennis rankings, Ruud encountered various pressures that tested his mental fortitude. He described sports psychology as "personal training for your feelings," highlighting its significance in helping athletes navigate the emotional ups and downs of competition. By acknowledging his struggles, Ruud aims to destigmatize mental health discussions within the sports community.
He believes that understanding and managing emotions can lead to improved performance on the court. As more athletes recognize the importance of mental well-being, Ruud's insights may inspire others to seek support and prioritize their mental health alongside their physical training.
