Sahil Jadhav's Asian Games preparation
Overview
Indian archer Sahil Jadhav, a 25‑year‑old national champion, has turned to former Australian cricketer Shane Watson’s self‑help book *The Winner’s Mindset* to sharpen his mental game ahead of the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi‑Nagoya, Japan. After seven years of setbacks, Jadhav won his first national title in 2024, followed by a gold medal at the senior nationals, a gold‑silver double at the 2025 World University Games, and a bronze in the men’s individual compound event at the Archery World Cup Stage 2 in Shanghai.
He says the book’s “easy‑to‑understand mental skills framework” helped him manage pressure and stay focused during competition. Training at the Sports Authority of India’s National Centre of Excellence in Kolkata, Jadhav is targeting a medal and preparing to face strong archery nations such as South Korea, China and host Japan.
The mental‑training approach reflects a broader trend of athletes borrowing techniques from other sports to enhance performance under high‑stakes conditions.
