You ever watch the Metallica documentary? They brought in a psychologist to help sort out infra-band issues and the psychologist started to believe that he was part of the band and they unified around firing him. All captured in the documentary. Pretty wild stuff. 1

Why yes! https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-expect-world-class-sports-performance-center-to-enhance-their-game Most encouraging for the players is no longer will they need to go offsite for massage therapy or other services like hot yoga for flexibility training. There’s now a hot yoga studio right at One Bills Drive. All of these amenities will allow the players to get all of their necessary training, nutrition and recovery accomplished in one place has clearly sent a message.

My hope would be that they hire someone that played team sports at the collegiate level; preferably football. 1
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 9 hours ago, purple haze said: Interesting, I don't see that. I see an alpha guy who has great physical gifts and, because of that combination, believes he can always make something happen. I don't think nerves are a major issue with him; I think discernment is his biggest issue. Right on. I do think there’s some psychology involved, or maybe places where a savvy and practical psychologist could help. Josh says all the right things in pressers -“ I don’t have to be the best QB on the field, I just have to be the best QB for this team and help us win” But internally, any kid who made his way from JuCo to an NFL starter with 1000 letters, 1 Div 1 offer, and a chorus of “inaccurate” “joke of a first round pick” along the way has to be fiercely driven to be the best and to prove it. He also has the normal top level competitor drive to win and hatred of losing. When the game gets heated, it’s only natural he’ll start pressing. Both he and his coaches/key teammates could benefit I think from some practical tools to help bridge the gap between what he knows abstractly to be true, and where he is in the moment. I’ll be straight, I’m a bench scientist by nature and training and like most of my kind I trend towards finding psychology hoodoo and hokey. But I’ve also been in situations where I had occasion to use thought patterns that were drilled into me and linked to something simple, like the physical gesture of reaching out with two fingers and setting them on a surface and feeling those thought patterns snap into place. Or using implementation intention strategies. It worked like 3-2-1 liftoff. So there’s something there.
K-9 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I think SDS should hire a “Mental Performance Consultant” for The Stadium Wall.
T master Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Given what the league has morphed into with the likes of AB, OBJ & others it might be a good thing & McD might be in the fore front heading off the crazy's before they go there ? !!

Saxum Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 13 hours ago, Phil The Thrill said: LOL they will need to hire more than 1 position to get the fan base mentally healthy First thing she will say is "What is this obsession you have with pitchforks? When you were growing up did you want to be a farmer." I recognized the name of the person to send resumes to, Dr. Katy Tran Turner, she works for the Mental Performance Coach for the Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bills and evidently needs additional staff.
Reed83HOF Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 @DC Tom needs to apply for this job - he would be excellent

I agree completely, but I think that is unlikely. I think the more likely outcome is a Russ Brandon meddling type. Probably less players playing through pain and things like that.

Yikes.
