Mexico National team head coach Juan Carlos Osorio has revealed that a mental coach will be part of his backroom staff in Russia this summer.
Players like Javier Hernandes and Carlos Vela will hope to use this as a secret weapon to navigate one of the hardest world cup groups. The Mexicans will face Germany, Sweden and South Korea in Group F. There is also a possibility of playing against Brazil in the first knock-out stage.
The decision to hire a mental coach has been inspired by Rugby powerhouse team All Blacks of New Zealand.
