Jose Mourinho: Do mind games really work? - Nudge

What this episode covers

Jose Mourinho is one of the world's most successful football managers. He has consistently turned good teams into the world’s best. He’s done so by signing fantastic players, by mastering tactics, but also by using psychological mind games to motivate his players and undermine his opposition. In this episode, I share interviews with Mourinho to pick apart why he used mind games, what he aimed to achieve, and whether or not they really worked.
