AFTERCARE: A FUNDAMENTAL TENET IN ATTAINING LONG-TERM RECOVERY
Recently Bill Stevens has appeared on the national and local news to comment on drug and alcohol issues. These are rarely archived so are unavailable to listen to or view.
…and a few from the days when Bill Stevens was part time on the backroom staff for Wolves with Mick McCarthy. It was a good couple of years but not to do with addiction. Duties were to travel with the first team supporting mental and emotional stability, confidence, consistency and focus. Bill was a significant factor in a change in fortunes resulting in promotion to the Premiership.
The Mail Online. Greg Halford – No More Booze
‘I began seeing our sports psychologist (Bill Stevens) towards the end of last season to get my head right.
“Wolves’ recent fixtures have been formidable – Chelsea, Manchester United (Carling Cup), Manchester City, United again in the league, and now Arsenal. It’s enough to put anyone into therapy and Wolves do have a sports therapist, Bill Stevens. “He’s available and he sees the players individually,” said McCarthy.”
The Sun – We were mad to get rid of Bill
KARL HENRY claims crisis-club Wolves were NUTS to bin their trusted psychologist.
Three stress-free seasons of relative success under shrink Bill Stevens ended abruptly last summer with the shock axing of the popular therapist.
Since then, the Molineux club have hit the skids and are now seen by many as the top-flight’s basket case.
And stand-in skipper Henry cannot help thinking the decision to get rid of the one man who brought some sanity to Molineux was MENTAL!
