dc.description.abstract | This article gives a rare account of the working life of a sports psychologist in the
English Premier League (EPL), the elite division in English professional football. It
shows how members of emerging professions such as sports psychology are a new
precariat. Martin is more successful than many sports psychologists, but his job
security is dependent on his continued ability to navigate managerial change: using
his skills as a psychologist in the defence of his own employment but simultaneously
keeping the (potentially sensitive) ‘psychology’ label of the work he does hidden until
circumstances are propitious. | en_GB |
