We often see the glamourous side of sports, but we don't often think about the journey or the mental aspect of it. What did it take to get there? What sacrifices were made along the way? What exactly is the midset of a professional athlete?

On the first episode with Indian Badminton Player Tanvi Lad, she and Ashdin talk about what it feels like to represent your country as an athlete, about putting in the hardwork and that hardwork giving you confidence on the court, the importance of a routine and taking one step at a time as champions are built little by little, and lots more. Tanvi also discusses how her lifestyle inculcated discipline in her, an athlete's mentality, and what a typical day looks like for her. Tune in for a peek into an elite athlete's mind.

Tanvi has a new podcast coming up this month on the IVM Podcasts network called 'The Millenial Athlete'. Catch the first episode of that on
