Evaluating the Sporting Achievements, Personality Traits, and Motivation Factors of Piyush Chawla – A Case Study

Abstract

This paper empirically examines the rise and development of Indian cricketer Piyush Chawla, focusing on his sporting milestones, psychological make-up, motivation levels, and resilience factors. Using a mixed-method descriptive and analytical case study design anchored in the Ekta Bisht model and validated psychological inventories the study analyses Chawla’s career arc alongside comparative peer data. It integrates synthetic peer group analysis while grounding key interpretations in established sports psychology frameworks. Key findings reveal high achievement motivation, marked psychological resilience, and strong correlations between specific personality traits and consistent sporting performance. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed for coaches, sports academies, and future research.
