111 How to be an Effective Sports Psychologist in Elite Professional Football

from Demystifying Mental Toughness · host David Charlton

This week I chat with HCPC Registered Sport Psychologist, Michael Caulfield about his route into the field and his work in elite professional football with managers, players and multi-disciplinary teams. He shares fascinating insights into his work, the importance of being courageous whatever your role. Michael has been fortunate to work with Gareth Southgate, Steve Bruce and Dean Smith in the English Premier League so has some great stories and advice to offer. What You Will Learn In This Episode: Michael's route into Sports Psychology came after being the Chief Executive of the Professional Jockey's Association. The importance of first impressions, building and maintaining relationships as a Sport Psychologist. Rejection and failure is a part of life, being able to bounce back with "courage" is a quality that can be developed and is essential if you are to prosper. The ability to park your own ego is essential when you are a Sport Psychologist. Being comfortable in your own skin when dealing with people, especially bigger names is valuable for you to prosper.

Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
