Motorsports athlete Aishwarya Pissay said that playing on a PlayStation 4 (PS4) helps in her training. Speaking to Sportskeeda's Indranil Basu in an exclusive conversation, the 25-year-old from Bengaluru said that playing a rally game on a PS4 helped her simulate race situations, and track her mental training.
Pissay described how her coach sets up a PS4 rally game for her to practice on, then tracks her mental calmness.
"My mental training starts after I'm physically exhausted. My mental coach puts me under a situation where we play this game called Dakar on PS4. It technically replicates the same situation that we have in a race."
"So what he does is he connects us to a few devices that he has, and it shows a real-time thing of how my mind is working. Am I completely stressed, am I alert, or am I calm? What kind of state I am at? Am I not letting tiredness or fatigue affect me? Am I able to work efficiently?"
