About Nudge Sports
Nudge Sports is an omni channel enterprise that is focused on making mental conditioning for performance enhancement and mental wellness an integral part of the athletes’ and team’s overall training program.
We work with a team of more than 80 Sport Psychologists across the country and offer mental conditioning sessions for performance enhancement and mental wellness of the athlete.
Nudge Sports through its team of sport psychologists and counsellors are always focussed on the holistic development of a student athlete. Thus a student athlete is able to meet the challenges not just on the field or court of play but also with academics.
Each student-athlete undergoes a detailed psychometric assessment and a personalized one on one program is developed based on their individual needs.
About Katha Sonaniskar (SE Counselor)
Katha Sonaniskar (Deshmukh) is a Sport and Exercise Psychologist with over three years of experience working with athletes between the ages of 10 and 25, from young beginners to elite performers. She holds a Master’s degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Staffordshire University, UK.
Drawing from her own background as an athlete — having competed in yoga, modern pentathlon, equestrian sports, and endurance events — Katha brings a grounded and practical approach to mental training. Her methods are structured and science-backed, yet rooted in empathy and real-world understanding. She believes that every athlete’s journey is unique, and that mental training should be tailored to reflect that individuality.
Katha also emphasizes the importance of collaboration among the athlete’s support system — parents, coaches, and strength trainers — to create an aligned and communicative environment where true growth can occur.
Based in Kalyan, Mumbai, Katha works closely with athletes to build resilience, focus, and confidence, empowering them to perform at their best both in sport and in life. Outside of work, she enjoys swimming, practicing yoga, and spending time in her garden.
