Hey folks, before we get started with this one, just wanted to give a quick trigger warning.

We do discuss eating disorders in this podcast.

Spurs in full cry here. Welcome, listeners, to the extra inch. My name's Wendy and I'm joined by one of our almost requested returning guests. It's Alex Stoyle, sports psychologist. Hello Alex. How are you doing? I'm good, thank you. How are you, Wendy? I'm very well. It's lovely to see you. I cannot believe it's been eight months, according to our Skype chat logs. It feels like weeks, but it kind of makes sense in the timeline of Spurs.

Just in case anyone hasn't heard you on the X-Ringe before, you've been on a couple of times,

but you want to just sort of give your credentials.

Yeah, pleasure to be back. So yeah, I'm a, I'm a trainee sports psychologist, so I'm currently on the process, or in the process of getting a doctorate in sports psychology at the University

of Portsmouth, which will make me a fully, fully qualified sports psychologist. But yeah,

in the meantime, yeah, I work across a number of different sports

with different teams and organizations, individual clients, all the rest of it.

Yeah, and here today to.

And also, you know, I guess the other side of my credentials.

I'm also as a season ticket holder.

So, yeah, kind of got both of those, both those angles. And yeah, happy to

be back and chat a bit about what the psychology might be like under Conte. Absolutely.

It's great timing. So as I said, we often get people, our ex-subs will often say, oh, when Alex is next on,

can you ask him this?

Can you ask him this?

And it's like, I've got a whole bunch of questions backed up to ask you.

And what we did, I put out a post on the Patreon to the ex-subs and said, Alex is coming

on.

What would you like to ask him?

And we're going to prioritize all of those questions.
