Tottenham Hotspur have reached a critical point in their Premier League season, fighting in the lower part of the table, and now they’re looking for a sports psychologist through LinkedIn.
The club’s idea is to strengthen the mental side of the first team amid the pressure of avoiding relegation. Working with psychologists is not unusual in football, but the very public way of recruiting is, which makes clear how delicate the moment is.
Deep down, when the results don’t come, not everything is about tactics or physical condition. The mind plays a key role, and Tottenham don’t want to leave anything to chance.
