Raheem Sterling has revealed he is ‘excited’ to enter a long-term partnership with the mindfulness and meditation app, Headspace. The Manchester City stars credits meditation with helping him to compete at the highest level, especially for England at Euro 2020, and is now hoping to spread the word of its benefits to as many people as possible.
Raheem Sterling said: “I’m excited to embark on this great partnership with Headspace. Meditation is a practice I have benefitted from greatly as a professional athlete, supporting me in balancing my thinking, focusing, and diminishing external noises, especially during the summer’s UEFA EURO ‘20 tournament. There is no doubt that the practice of meditation has enabled me to perform at the highest level consistently. It’s only now that I can see the benefits of such a practice on people of all ages and I’m really looking forward to the difference we can make together in developing the conversation around mental health, educating on tools and resources that can help people manage everyday challenges. COVID-19 has challenged us all, young and old, and it’s a great feeling to be in a position to support people through these challenges.”
