"It's a time for me to reflect, to think, to breathe, and to gain some perspective on myself." In a recent interview, Mikel Arteta discussed the daily meditation practice he makes time for. Between 45 to 90 minutes, these sessions are crucial for calming the Arsenal manager, whose job "requires your mind to always be running at full speed." Earlier this year, the former Pep Guardiola assistant also spoke at a press conference about the heavy responsibility that comes with being a coach: "Every day is a rollercoaster of emotions. You have to try to inspire your team, have an impact on them, sometimes to calm them down, other times motivating them… You have to deal with a lot of things you can't control, in addition to dealing with the opponents and the results."
