This Kerala-born football club doctor in the U.K. insists mental health is part of the job
The Hindu
Kerala-origin Dr Prithish Shyam Narayan, the club doctor for Leicester City FC, wants the sports industry to engender stronger mental health conversations for footballers during the pandemic and a high-pressure Premier League season
When Prithish Shyam Narayan was 16, his mother asked him what his dream was. He replied without hesitation, “I want to be the club doctor for Arsenal!” His mother and father nodded indulgently, but Prithish had decided that was his destiny. At this time, during the early 2000s, there was not much dialogue about sports doctors. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, 31-year-old Prithish was on the phone with his mother and said with a laugh, “Mom, we’re halfway there!”
Prithish is now Co-Head of Academy Medicine and First Team Trauma Doctor for Leicester City Football Club, having been the club doctor for Coventry City Football Club. Prithish is also a Special Registrar in Trauma and Orthopaedics for the National Health Service in the UK.
