Sam Allardyce is confident he will keep his head as the fight for Premier League survival comes to a climax - thanks to transcendental meditation. The 61-year-old Sunderland manager is renowned for believing in the benefits of sports science and has revealed he in part attributes his longevity in football to regularly using meditation.Allardyce, who is attempting to steer Sunderland out of relegation trouble with just three games remaining, said: I do transcendental meditation and I have done for 12, 14 years now. Its very relaxing, very calming and you can do it anywhere. Sam Allardyce has accused Tottenham of not being able to cope with the pressure It helps you cope with the pressure you come under in this job. When it was brought for the players by us at Bolton in about 2003-04, I was always one of those guys that says, Try it yourself.You have a better understanding then if you try it yourself and if the players talk about it and say, Well, thats a load of rubbish, you can say, Well, actually, I use it and I dont find it to be like that, so you must be a bit of a non-believer. Sam Allardyce believes Chelsea is a massive challenge for Sunderland and hopes the fans will be the twelve man But I read the science on transcendental meditation and if you read the science, it gives you a better insight into how it helps you reduce your blood pressure and keeps you calmer and how easy it is to carry out.Fifteen minutes, half an hour - you dont have to be going into a quiet room with music on or anything like that, you can be anywhere at any time finding a relatively quiet place and do 15, 20, 25 minutes and it refreshes you and makesyou feel good to push on.But it has helped me cope with the pressure of management. Thats why I am still doing it today, probably. Pick your team Aguero? Ozil? De Bruyne?

However, he is aware that will not be easy despite the Blues struggles this season. Allardyce would be reluctant to share his knowledge with other managers Allardyce said: Its the biggest surprise - apart from Leicester winning the league. Its the biggest surprise that Chelsea faltered, particularly in the early part of the season, as much as they did.Leicester have continued what they were doing and Chelsea have pulled away from down at the bottom now, but its been a very poor season by their standards.
