John Nassoori · The Mind Room

In the latest episode of The World Cup Psychology Show, Tim Harkness, Chelsea’s former head of Sport Science & Psychology, who worked with Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge, and David Wheeler, one of the only former pro footballers turned psychologists working in the game, join me to look back at England’s win against Croatia.

We consider what did Tuchel said in the dressing room to inspire his side’s second half showing, examine the nuances of Harry’s Kane leadership and dissect one of the most memorable interviews delivered by an England assistant.
