To prepare the ladies team for the mental challenges that come with football and to equip them with the mental muscles that the game demands, West Allotment will now be working with Helen Ruud who is a Sport and Exercise Psychologist (BPS Training).
Helen has a background in mental coaching where she supports athletes to deal with pressure, manage anxiety and emotions, bouncing back from failures, setting goals and obtaining them, mental well-being, boosting and maintaining motivation among other things that are mind-related.
She works side-by-side with coaches and players to develop and implement a mental training program for the team and the individual players focusing on strengthening their mental game.
We look forward to working with Helen going forward.
