MANY CLUBS talk about the importance of the wellbeing of their staff and players, but only one has ingrained this within their performance department.
Brighton have a Performance Psychology and Wellbeing department, with staff dedicated to the promotion of health and happiness within the club.
Murray gave a specific example about one player she had been working with.
“What we picked up on was that he was tweeting very late, at 2 or 3am, and that there was something in the messaging that made us wonder whether everything was ok.
“It turned out he was experiencing heightened anxiety, sleep issues he had never had before, negative emotions.
“There is never just one person who is going to be the best support, so we had a multi-disciplinary support meeting and put a plan in place to best support his training and how he was feeling. This messaging was relayed to the staff.
“The player is now back in a much better space.”
