Many people outline the importance of our psychology in what we do but don’t give practical ways to do so. Over the last decade I have worked across 17 competitive sports, acquired 19 international trophies and accumulated over $2.25m in prize money. As a HCPC-registered Sport & Exercise Psychologist, I specialise in helping athletes, coaches, and high performers reach their full potential using evidence-based sport psychology principles. Drawing from my experience as both a psychologist and a competitive athlete, I bring practical knowledge of mental skills training, including competition psychology, health behaviors, confidence building, managing anxiety, and sustaining motivation.

Coming back from injury, the bench or a bad run? Stop trying to get back to who you were.

That player trained in a different body, under a different manager, with different pressure. The comeback that works is a reinvention.

Three steps are in the slides. Do them this week, on paper, not in your head.

Save this and send it to a teammate on the way back.

“This gives me peace.”

That’s Haaland on chopping wood. Easy to laugh it off as the viking image. But listen to what he says it does for him.

Packed fixtures. Travel. Every touch analysed. You can’t be switched on 24/7 and still be sharp on a Saturday.

Your legs get a recovery plan. Your head needs one too.

Find your off switch this week:

1. Pick one thing you do with your hands, with no phone. Cooking, fishing, a long walk, anything.

2. Give it a fixed slot, like the day after a game

3. Do 30 minutes of it. No football talk, no clips.

Send this to the teammate who never switches off.

Listen carefully to this if you’ve been wanting to perform at your best.

Here’s 2 reasons why
1. It makes you evaluate what you’re prioritising
2. The audio is difficult to hear so you have to listen closely 😛

If you’re a football player or been in high-level football before you know this well

There is a honeymoon period when there’s a new coach. But there’s also a period where you need to prove your worth.

Show that you deserve to be where you are because you know there are other people working to take your spot.

Kyllian knows this better than we do and it seems that Jose Mourinho’s style and personality is having a positive impact on the team.
