Keerthana Swaminathan supports athletes and those around them with practical
psychological work that helps thinking and performance come together.
High-performance sport demands more than motivation or mindset tools.
Keerthana and her team work with athletes, families, coaches, and institutions through moments of expectation, injury, transition, and long-term performance load.
Rather than offering quick fixes, the work focuses on strengthening the environments, relationships, and decision-making processes that shape performance over time.
Performance cannot be sustained where psychological safety is compromised.
Keerthana’s work is grounded in creating conditions where athletes can train, compete, and recover without fear, confusion, or emotional overload.
A grounded look at how pressure, identity, and systems shape athletes, through lived practice and
A personal reflection on growth, discipline, and self-understanding. Written at 21, shaped by running and early independence.
A guided journal that helps athletes notice patterns, regulate responses, and build consistency through reflection.
