Hello—I’m Malhar.

I’m a mental performance consultant (in-training), currently pursuing my master’s in sport and performance psychology. Applied sport psychology is non-clinical. It uses evidence-based tools from sport psychology, psychology, and sport science to help athletes manage performance anxiety, sharpen focus, and build emotional resilience, etc.—without venturing into therapy or clinical treatment. I am in the process of earning my CMPC® credential through the Association of Applied Sport Psychology and the Canadian Sport Psychology Association.

Tennis has been my world for over 20 years. I’ve lived it from every angle: as a competitive player (collegiate and beyond, including a failed attempt to play professionally), a college coach, and a director of tennis programs.

I know the battle players go through: how doubt creeps in, how confidence fluctuates, how pressure can change your performance. And I’ve studied the science-backed ways to address it.

My current research explores how hybrid cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based tools can reduce anxiety, improve well-being, and support sustainable performance in elite tennis players.

I hope you enjoy my website. It has close to 100,000 words of of free insights and advice on applying sport psychology to tennis.
