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 draw against Ghana.

We consider how Tuchel, his squad and backroom staff will react to the result, analyse the pysche behind Ghana’s rearguard action and examine the challenge-focused psychological framing pivotal to England’s potential progress in the tournament.
