UPGRADE YOUR MINDSET
"I met Keval around 4 years ago at a goalkeeping camp in Portugal that we were both involved in. We instantly got on very well and grew closer throughout the time we spent away together and have kept in contact since. Throughout the years of knowing each other, I have spoken to him about certain situations that I've faced in my career and he has always given me great advice. Whether it be for positives that I have experienced whilst playing, or the negatives that I am trying to deal with. He has always helped me get the best out of each situation we have discussed and he is very good at doing so because he has experience of playing the game. I'm very fortunate to have not only met Keval, but to call him a good friend of mine. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs his sort of support, guidance or advice to help get the best out of their situation."
"I first started working with keval around 6 years ago through goalkeeper training. Ever since then we have stayed in regular contact and become good friends...I use him a lot to ask for advice on how to overcome sticky moments in my career that I've had over the last few years. He has given me great tools and advice to get me through those spells. We've had interesting chats about the psych state of a goalkeeper because I think it's such an individual position. He's been great for me and I'm really grateful for what he's done in terms of my career. He's great at what he does. He's played the game so he knows what its like being in your shoes. I highly recommend him and he's a great guy as well."

"As a former academy player and practicing psychologist, Keval provides a combination of experience and professional skill that is of huge benefit to young sportspeople. In the growing field that is sports psychology within football, Keval stands out as a practitioner that has trodden that difficult path for himself and is able to share his knowledge on both a personal and professional level. Having spoken to our U18 squad recently, Keval was able to relay key learning points from his journey, highlighting the challenges and the opportunities that it provided him, and relaying key strategies for growth that the players can implement for themselves. He was able to approach complex topics in a way that resonates with players that are both starting and ending their time as full-time scholars. We look forward to welcoming Keval back to the Academy in the future. With thanks from us all at QPR."
