Undoubtedly,Nigeria players are undergoing a lot and to a larger extent,they are sometimes weighed down psychologically ,Mentally and Emotionally .It affects their entire input and productivity both in the team ,at home ,socially and even when they leave active sports .What we have come out now to do with my able team is to educate relevant stakeholders and key players to enable them to note these concerns with a view to addressing them before they degenerate into issues of trade disputes.
The players must know their boundary and same with coaches and management and this will help to promote effective work-life and work-place mental health for holistic outcomes .Issues of players contractual agreement must be well documented and followed sincerely without breaches.
