This new scheme does not need to be a negative thing. But The Sun are trying their best to put a negative spin on it
Spurs splash out on 'well-being guru' so stars can relax with yoga and poetry
TOTTENHAM HOT-SPAS
MILLIONAIRE stars at Prem giants Spurs were branded selfish and savaged for not being able to perform under pressure - and now they are being pampered with a "well-being guru" to keep stars happy.
Fiery boss Antonio Conte faces the boot for turning on his own team after a string of dismal results culminating in last weekend's capitulation at rock bottom Southampton which ended in a 3-3 draw.
But rather than toughen up the "Spursy" line-up, the club is splashing out on a new employee to meet their off-field needs - including yoga, art classes and poetry readings.
The executive will work alongside Tottenham’s psychologists who monitor stars’ state of mind, and player care officers who tackle mundane tasks like sourcing motors and opening bank accounts for players including Harry Kane.
They will be expected to set up health and well-being activities for the squad, and create a network of mental health “first aiders” to assist struggling staff and players.
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 (including boys / girls and Women’s).
“The Health & Wellbeing Lead will drive workforce awareness and development about mental health and embed it into all aspects of the business.”
The exec 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”.
And “facilitate appropriate risk assessments and risk management”.
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)”.
And “develop a programme of day-to-day wellbeing activities for staff on all sites”.
Last night furious Spurs fans hit out at the club.
Shiraz Harwood said: "No wonder the players can't cope on the pitch - they are pampered and treated like princesses. It's pretty pathetic."
John Hobson said: "Conte was right after all. The club is a joke."
