Tottenham Hotspur: After a tumultuous last few days, Harry Kane and Co received some respite as the Antonio Conte saga continues to rumble on. The Spurs manager called the club’s players selfish and savaged for not being able to perform under pressure. Now, the players had a day out with a well-being guru and took painting & yoga classes to refresh their minds during the international break. Follow Premier League LIVE Updates on Insidesport.IN
Tottenham dropped two points against the Saints in Premier League despite taking a 3-1 lead. They conceded two easy goals in the final stages of the second half and lost an opportunity to get three points. Conte was not happy with this performance against the bottom side.
Now, the club is doing something different and it’s like they are pampering the players who were branded selfish by Conte. The North London club is splashing out on a new employee to meet their off-field needs that include yoga, art classes, and poetry readings.
This new employee will also work with club psychologists who monitor stars’ state of mind. The executive will also join player care officers who tackle mundane tasks like sourcing motors and opening bank accounts for players. Basically, Tottenham club is trying to improve players’ mental health by adding well-being activities for the squad.

The executive will “produce quarterly and annual reports on health & wellbeing noting key areas of progress and development, including documented rates of staff and player wellbeing and present to key stakeholder groups”.
An ad reveals: “The Club is seeking a Health & Wellbeing Lead to develop the Health and Wellbeing Services across the club. As the Health & Wellbeing Lead, your primary focus will be on our employees. You will work with key stakeholders on supporting our development of elite players.”
“The Health & Wellbeing Lead will drive workforce awareness and development about mental health and embed it into all aspects of the business.”
The candidate will “work closely with already existing health & well-being contributors within the business (this includes, e.g. Club Psychologists, Player Care Manager, Player Liaison, Medical, the Head of Safeguarding, HR, and Safeguarding Officers)”.
This new system might solve the issues for Tottenham but it’s not a matter of mental health. Few players want Conte to be sacked. Even Tottenham started its process of finding a new manager after the international break. Conte moved to Itlay for the break because Tottenham’s next will be played on April 03 against Leicester.
