Sports psychologist: the missing piece?

[Dutty]

Strangely enough though, she was removed from her position in the run-up to the November 19th game as the TTFF top brass were of the opinion that the team was becoming "too dependant" on her!  A few team members thought that her removal was one of the less talked about reasons for the uninspiring performance on the field that day.

You serious man
what is wrong wid dem in de TTFF
day stuck in de 18th century

Yeah.  Her name is Shirley Rudd-Ottley (if I am not mistaken).  She was with the Strike Squad for a long time before she was relieved of her duties.

Her daughter took over now I believe. Shian L Ottley

Ottley-Rudd was not a Sports Psychologist but a Psychologist. So I will hope that the TTFF find a Sport Psychologist on this ocassion. They are few and far apart in the region but we need 1. Beenie can motivate but a specialist is needed.`

[najee]

yuh mean 2006 and the team don't have a sport physiotherapist, dietitian and nutritionist....what going on.....them guys drinking or smoking and iam talking about the U14, U17, U21, the woman senior team and maybe the world cup team heading to Germany

Yeah doc, I realise you address this before, I seen yuh posts in the past

However, while you addressed it in generic terms..as in the importance of having a sports psychologist
My question was really if anyone is aware that one was actually hired?

Truthfully, until the actual world cup, a few topics may get recycled by new people like mihself...dat doh mean the intent was to 'step on man toes'

Is de internet...it open world wide...dais how it does go
I willin tuh lobby fuh yuh to geh de wukk

TNT Guardian reports:

WINNIPEG—"T&T’s Stephen Ames has admitted that a session with a psychologist prior to the Players Championship, contributed to his capture of the prestigious event. "





Ummm.... if it works for one, could it also work for the TNT Warriors?

[Dutty]

AlbertaTrini , Just IMAGINE this, the TTFF will just fire day armen for DOING their JOB
and we WONDER why others make fun of us.

Remember that the Strike Squad had one during their campaign.  Therefore this is not an alien concept to TTFF.
Strangely enough though, she was removed from her position in the run-up to the November 19th game as the TTFF top brass were of the opinion that the team was becoming "too dependant" on her!   A few team members thought that her removal was one of the less talked about reasons for the uninspiring performance on the field that day.

As someone pointed out, she wasnt a sports psychologist but a regular one (me eh know if dais true or not).....if so,,my guess is that is like de difference beetween a brain surgeon and a heart surgeon,,,, yeah both ah dem could cut yuh open, but yuh want de right person fuh de wukk when yuh get ah tumor in yuh head oui

She may have been very qualified but simply not a good fit for a sports team
How many exist in the carribbean??....might be a good field to get into as more athletes from the WI start to assert themselves at higher levels

I think Senator sprinter may have used one, he should recommend he own...although ah rather see ah Trini geh de wukk

So because she was not a sports psychologist she don't mean that removing her before that big game was the correct thing to do.  To me it looked like she helped the Strike Squad up until they fired her.

I eh know too much about that field..or what went orn, so ah cyah say I agree or disagree dey
Ah sure it have lurkers on here could answer dat

[AB.Trini]

Leh we start two months a therapy for players coach and the entire TTFF management.

[Observer]

sport psychologist may or may not work. Aime Jacque kick all sport psychologist out of the French team upon taking over. His argument was that was his job & once you introduce psychologist, it becomes a question as to who is in charge of the team.
Jose Mourinho believes the same.
Most subject matter on the topic is inconclusive, some argue it is great for individual sport and very difficult in team sport.

[AB.Trini]

 All our teams could benefit for this ....... When we have teams which appears to be mentally fragile and  seems to be mired in low performances, there has to be another type of intervention that may assist with how players approach the game.

but wha de arse is dis I readin? how would a sport psychologist help fellas whose first touch is ah header... who have de tactical awareness of a hamster on ah wheel?

[Trinimassive]

but wha de arse is dis I readin? how would a sport psychologist help fellas whose first touch is ah header... who have de tactical awareness of a hamster on ah wheel?

Because all dey need to do is BELIEVE dey have the touch. Kinda like the little magician, we call him dat and he BELIEVE he could perform magic. He STILL BELIEVE that

[weary1969]

All yuh not eazyyyyyyyyyy.

He/She might not b able 2 help these players but there maybe others who will benefit.

Sport psychologist have had success and also failed miserably! This is true in almost every country.  It is in no way a guarantee Beswick had success at one club, was given a contract at another and they got relegated. When Aime Jacque took over France he got rid of all the Sport Psychologist, that Houllier was using, claiming that the responsibility lay with him as coach.

AB, with all due respect, I believe many of our local based technically deficient.  I don't know how much mind building can really mask that.  We are technically and tactically deficient and not up to international standard.  We need to address those issues urgently, but it may be too late to teach old dogs new tricks.  We need to revamp our youth structure and stop hoping that men will develop by chance.  We really need to invest in developmental programs, similar to how this current U17 women's team was brought along.
