Digicel funds full-time psychologist for WI team

Digicel today announced it is paying to support an experienced sports psychologist joining the West Indies cricket team for the current England tour.

David Scott, who has worked with the team for brief intervals since the Pakistan tour in 2005, will now join the Windies on a full-time basis beginning his service tomorrow, Thursday, May 17th.

"David is a very practical sports psychologist who has come in and connected well with the players” said Windies team manager Michael Findlay. “He's a person who's down to earth and he's been a perfect fit to help us reach new levels."

Scott, a native of Northern Ireland, has been a sports psychology professor at the University of New Brunswick since 1997 and worked with a number of professional sports teams in the past in the United States, Canada, Switzerland and the UK.

Digicel said it previously sponsored the addition of a fitness and conditioning coach to the West Indies cricket team.
