“Real success comes from RELENTLESS. It is only when you are truly persistent in wanting your players to be better; that you push your own limits which in turn, benefits the whole team!” In the very first episode of Kritva Unplugged, we dive deep into the world of sports physiotherapy, recovery, and careers in the sporting ecosystem with Dr. Neha Karnik — a trailblazer who helped shape fitness and rehabilitation standards for cricket teams at a global level. This episode is not just about physiotherapy. It’s about choices, mindset, ground reality, and building a career in sports when the path is unclear and the odds are stacked against you.
