Description :
It is the science of psychology that teaches us to hold in check the wild thinking of the
mind, place it under the control of the will, and thus free ourselves from its
uninterrupted mandates. Psychology is therefore the science of sciences, without which
all sciences and all other knowledge are worthless with education in general and
physical education in particular being no exception. The general methods of content
analysis and deductive reasoning have been followed to review the published literature.
Furthermore the studies based on sport psychology in Indian context are very few and
hence, it can be concluded that the evolution of sports psychology field is uneven in the
developed as well as developing worlds. Hence, it is suggested that specific efforts be
taken to improve the knowledge generation efforts in the field of sports psychology in
India.
