“Like a hamster on a wheel.” Kasatkina told why she turned to a psychologist for help
Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina spoke about problems with motivation and admitted that she turned to a sports psychologist for help.
– Constant flights and travels are hard, because you are like a hamster in a wheel. It goes on non-stop, we almost never have breaks. And in the end everything is the same, every year, every week …
It is very difficult to cope with this and find answers on your own. Therefore, it is useful when a professional shows what can bring you pleasure on tour. We are working on a lot. We talk about sports, about life, about the situation in my country, because I am very worried about this topic and this affects my psychological health. It’s hard.
We are also working on bringing creativity back into the game. For the past few years, I have been more disciplined, but now we are working to ensure that I am more open on the court, ”the WTA press service quotes Kasatkina.
Kasatkina is the winner of seven WTA tournaments (six of them in singles), the owner of the Billie Jean King Cup.
