AT any big club these days, there is an army of staff behind the scenes to cater for a player’s every need. That is evident here at Celtic’s pre-season training camp in Austria, where there seems to be a member of backroom staff for every couple of players.
Subsequently, these Celtic players are in prime physical condition, but what about their mental health? For Matt O’Riley, looking after his mental welfare is the single most important aspect of being a professional, and that is why he has his own mental coach to help him ensure he is also looking after himself in that regard.
