Abstract
The culprit is "mental noise," also known as the inner monologue. It's a voice that ceaselessly runs in our heads from the time we wake up until we go to sleep at night. Often it even follows us to sleep! It's analysing everything about our lives and surroundings. We actually have a voice in our head that's just talking to itself! It's like we're all loonies! This paper aims to throw light on the impact of mental noise on an individual in the context of sports performance. Possible causes of mental noise and some remedies to overcome the same are also discussed.
