Abstract

India and its people are commonly known for their unique culture and tradition. Cricket and mythology are much interwoven into the lives of people as both are almost inseparable part of their life and culture. Although the two fields are completely different from each other, there is a deep-rooted connection between them when it comes to their popularity in India. Most of the people of India have spent their childhood either by listening to the stories of mythology or watching cricket, because the two interesting activities that consciously impact the mind and gain the attention so easily. The psychological aspects of both game and stories literally leave a strong impact in human mind. Hence, this paper attempts to integrate the psychological aspects of the game and mythology by analyzing the existing mental health problems of Indian cricketers with reference to the mythological stories of Indian heroes. It further aims to provide the proposed model for mental fitness named SPORTS as a guide to mental training for contemporary cricketers to manage their emotions and control their mind for optimal performance.

心理健康:从战场到操场的心理战。

印度及其人民以其独特的文化和传统而闻名。板球和神话深深地交织在人们的生活中，它们几乎是人们生活和文化不可分割的一部分。虽然这两个领域完全不同，但在印度的受欢迎程度上，它们之间有着根深蒂固的联系。大多数印度人的童年要么是听神话故事，要么是看板球，因为这两项有趣的活动能有意识地影响大脑，很容易引起人们的注意。游戏和故事的心理层面都对人类的思想产生了强烈的影响。因此，本文试图结合印度板球英雄的神话故事，分析印度板球运动员存在的心理健康问题，将板球运动的心理方面与神话结合起来。本文进一步提出了一种名为SPORTS的心理健康模型，作为当代板球运动员心理训练的指导，以管理他们的情绪和控制他们的思想，以获得最佳表现。
