Scott Sinclair joined Celtic in the summer of 2016.
Celtic winger Scott Sinclair has been one of the best players for the club this season. Sinclair struggled to make an impact at Aston Villa last season, but he has been absolutely fantastic for the Bhoys this campaign.
The 28-year-old winger has scored 20 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions for Celtic this season, and has played a key role in the Bhoys’ Scottish Premiership title triumph.
According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic paid Villa £3.5 million in the summer of 2016 in order to secure the services of Sinclair, and the winger has proved to be worth the transfer fee.
Sinclair’s return to form this season has been a wonder, and the former Chelsea and Swansea City winger has revealed the secret to his turnaround – mental coach Jag Shoker.
“I have been working off the scene and had a mental coach that no one knew about for six months,” Sinclair told The Scottish Sun. “His name is Jag Shoker.
“He has books out and I was working with him and getting my things together, getting my clips and we would go over them every week.”
“I brought Jag in about a year ago or 18 months ago,” added Sinclair. “I was working with him week by week.
“It was just something different to help with my mental state and he has helped me get performing again. He’s not a psychologist, let’s get that straight.
“He’s a sports coach and he tells you little shifts in your game which can change the way you’re thinking. Going into games, how do you feel? All the attributes and things like that.”
Sinclair is a good winger, and at 28, he is probably at his peak. Celtic fans must surely be pleased that the club signed him in the summer of 2016.
