Do you think teams need a performance coach?

Seeing BOOM's stage 2 run they all had these ideas but some of them just can't seem to fucking shoot. I see some teams with one but don't know if they give any significant impact. Maybe for some teams at least have the players do specific performance training in their regimes if they haven't already.

Also some teams historically have sports psychologists listed, what do they actually do?

as soon as PRX got a performance coach they performed way better

I guess for some teams they do work. I remember seeing a few teams at the start of partnership having one but doing mediocre still

GX has one too and they seem to be doing well since but I'm wondering if it's just because of the team slowly improving as time goes

Can you elaborate I really don't know what they do, like polish a player's mechanics like in one on one paid coaching? Also the sports psychologist thing does anyone have an answer

just performs the roles like how a normal sports psychologist would in a physical sport, I believe PRX has had one since the start of the season and I wouldn't say he is a huge part in their success but he still has impact despite having 0 knowledge of the game

That's cool, I wish BOOM had one, they don't look themselves after stage 1 especially Shiro
