    From prodigy to master: The art of turning expectation into long lasting success.

    Indian cricketer MD Thirushkamini shares a deeply honest reflection on her journey in elite sport and what success truly means beyond the scoreboard. She looks back on her early years as a prodigy and how her understanding of success evolved through key moments in her career.  MD Thirushkamini opens up about the pressure of expectations, the emotional weight of selection setbacks, and how injuries challenged her both physically and mentally. She also speaks about learning to separate her self-worth from runs and results, and how redefining success on her own terms helped her rediscover joy in the game. The conversation explores the importance of team culture, communication, and trust, as well as the need for athletes to have the space to fail, grow, and express themselves. This episode offers a powerful insight into resilience, identity, and personal growth—on and off the field. 00:00 – Introduction 01:00 – Thirushkamini’s Journey & Achievements 04:41 – Redefining Success 09:40 – Injury, Comebacks & Selection Setbacks 16:20 – Mental Maturity & Letting Go of Self-Blame 18:30 – Team Culture & Communication 25:40 – Playing Under Pressure 31:30 – Mental vs Physical Preparation 38:30 – Marriage, Longevity & Breaking Norms 48:30 – Final Thoughts & Closing Reflections -------------------------------- CONNECT -------------------------------- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0g43fpwWuXoJEDtFQpZf8C Apple: https://apple.co/3BTAqn9 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insideedgeproject LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhavi-devchand-85302892/ The Inside Edge Podcast aims to explore how the best in the world navigate all the noise to consistently perform in the most rugged and high-pressure environments.
