On a recommendation by Sri Lanka’s new coach Chandika Hathurusinghe, Sri Lanka Cricket hired the services of Brisbane-based sports psychologist Dr. Phil Jauncey, who is due to arrive in Colombo today.
Australia’s most successful coach John Buchanan who himself hired Dr. Jauncy for Cricket Australia said that the Sri Lankan players will benefit greatly when they interact with their new psychologist.
“Dr Phil Jauncey or “Mozz” as he is affectionately kanown by many was very helpful for me as a coach as well as our support staff to have someone listening to what we were discussing about players and whether we were on the right track or could approach it differently”.
“As a head coach, it is very important to find one or two people whom you can trust and confide in away for the team as there will be issues, either personal, or that cannot be aired with others, that need resolution. When these circumstances arose, Dr. Jauncey was one of those persons to whom I could turn”, added Buchanan.
