Raheem Sterling: Liverpool doctor transformed me
LIVERPOOL’S Raheem Sterling says advice from sports psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters has helped turn him into one of England’s brightest young stars.
“At first I thought it wasn’t for me,” said Sterling.
“But I had a meeting with him before the Manchester City game [on April 13, which Liverpool won 3-2 with Sterling scoring the opening goal]. I thought it was going to last 20-25 minutes. So I walked in, sat down and he just said, ‘focus on the ball, focus on the team’. ‘Is that it?’ I asked him. But it was really important.”
