ENGLAND ace Raheem Sterling has credited his title winning performances for Manchester City on a new training technique – meditation.
The winger bagged his fourth Premier League title this season after scoring 17 goals in 47 appearances for the Blues.
And he has also prove to be a hot shot for the Three Lions under Gareth Southgate, who has credited the 27-year-old as one of England’s main goal threats under his regime.
Now Raheem has created a series of podcasts with mental health app Headspace to help his fans deal with the stresses and strains of everyday life.
He said: “Mental training, through meditation, is as important as physical training – doing it regularly helps me to have a much calmer, clearer and sharper mind.
“When we are in a good mindset, our potential is limitless. Meditation is a great practice – once I learnt how to train the mind, I had the power over my mind, not vice-versa, which was a game-changer.”
