The Importance of a Healthy Support System for Footballers

Here Owen Coyle Jr. Head Coach for The England Amputee Football Association and Founder of CO2 Sports Management talks about the importance of a support system for footballers, and highlights it as one of the most important things a player needs to succeed in becoming professional and in sustaining a high-performance lifestyle.

It’s so important that athletes and professionals in sport have the right support system around them, not just for help, but for development. A healthy and active support system is crucial to mental health, wellbeing and performance. The take away message is that sports professionals must be intentional about their support system; whose in it, how it operates and how they best utilise it.
