I managed to find this perhaps unorthodox hiring of a forensic psychologist to aid England in rugby.
My question is, would this undermine your respect or increase it for the forensic psychologist who applies themselves in this area for sporting reasons?
Sports psychology is a separate issue and yet from this news headline and article, it appears that the individual in question is a forensic psychologist.
This reminds me of something I read about psychology and football by a famous football player who if I recall correctly believes that the "winning" side of football isn't what football is about. He talks about "winning" in our society and how it's over glorified and how he had to come to terms with feeling like a "loser" to overcome narcissistic injury of winning at football. I wish I could find the article as he has some great points about psychology and football. In any event, I do not agree with this aspect of psychology and sports. I think it's important to have a strategy and a game plan but to demote football to forensic psychological data just to "win" seems like a waste of a forensic psychologists time and takes the fun out of what football is supposed to be which is much more than data.
