Team's '''confidence''' is helped by the Sports Psychologist. Confidence is primarily driven by your team results and how many goals you've scored. But the Sports Psychologist adds a bonus to confidence as well. This bonus equals one full level of confidence for a Level 5 Sports Psychologist, or one fifth of a level of confidence per skill level employed.


This was explained in a Q&A on Global by HT-Tjecken in 6604789.86:
Your '''team spirit''', driven by the team attitude you set for previous games, is also helped by this specialist. Immediately after a game team spirit may get a boost or drop lower, depending on which team attitude was used. But at each daily update the team spirit then tends to normalise, which means if it is high then it will slowly drop and if it is low then it will slowly recover. A Sports Psychologist can help you improve this process by raising the base value toward which your team spirit moves naturally.
A higher base value means that high team spirit values will fall slower and low ones will rise faster. The bonus received is one tenth of a level per skill level employed. This means a level 5 Sports Psychologist will increase your team spirit base value by half a level of team spirit.

Sports psychologist is a specialist who increases confidence and, to a much smaller degree, team spirit.

Characteristics

The mental game is almost as important as the physical one. Hiring a Sports Psychologist can really help you create a winning atmosphere. This staff member will help you maintain your team's confidence in their own game as well as help nurture the team spirit of the whole squad.

Team's confidence is helped by the Sports Psychologist. Confidence is primarily driven by your team results and how many goals you've scored. But the Sports Psychologist adds a bonus to confidence as well. This bonus equals one full level of confidence for a Level 5 Sports Psychologist, or one fifth of a level of confidence per skill level employed.

Your team spirit, driven by the team attitude you set for previous games, is also helped by this specialist. Immediately after a game team spirit may get a boost or drop lower, depending on which team attitude was used. But at each daily update the team spirit then tends to normalise, which means if it is high then it will slowly drop and if it is low then it will slowly recover. A Sports Psychologist can help you improve this process by raising the base value toward which your team spirit moves naturally. A higher base value means that high team spirit values will fall slower and low ones will rise faster. The bonus received is one tenth of a level per skill level employed. This means a level 5 Sports Psychologist will increase your team spirit base value by half a level of team spirit.

Contrary to popular belief, if your team gains very high levels of confidence, psychologists DO NOT lower team confidence towards the optimum level. Your players will remain overconfident.

In a nutshell

Sports psychologist:

  • Improves team confidence.
  • Gives minor boost to team spirit.

Confidence is primarily driven by your team results and how many goals you've scored, but Sports psychologist adds a bonus to your team confidence and - directly - your attack ratings.

The Sports Psychologist helps team spirit as well by raising the base value toward which your team spirit moves naturally.

2 +0,2 +0,4
3 +0,3 +0,6
4 +0,4 +0,8

Comparison with old system

Sports psychologists are the only specialist who survived nearly unchanged through staff reforms. The only new add feature was the skill levels and the only other change was the reasonable removal of negative overstaffing effects (more the ten staff members caused a team spirit drop).

Psychologists boost your confidence, they're not at all useful to lower it. So I should sack them in case of overconfidence and not hire more.
