Headspace (Ted Lasso)

"Headspace" is the seventh episode of the second season of the American sports comedy-drama television series Ted Lasso, based on the character played by Jason Sudeikis in a series of promos for NBC Sports' coverage of England's Premier League. It is the 17th overall episode of the series and was written by Phoebe Walsh and directed by Matt Lipsey. It was released on Apple TV+ on September 3, 2021.

The series follows Ted Lasso, an American college football coach, who is unexpectedly recruited to coach a fictional English Premier League soccer team, AFC Richmond, despite having no experience coaching soccer. The team's owner, Rebecca Welton, hires Lasso hoping he will fail as a means of exacting revenge on the team's previous owner, Rupert, her unfaithful ex-husband. The previous season saw Rebecca change her mind on the club's direction and working Ted in saving it, although the club is relegated from the Premier League. In the episode, Ted starts therapy sessions with Sharon, but his lack of commitment proves to be frustrating. Meanwhile, Beard notes a new behavior on Nate while Roy tries to spend every moment with Keeley.

The episode received positive reviews, with critics praising the performances, therapy scenes, writing and character development. Nate's behavior was analyzed by many critics. For her performance in the episode, Sarah Niles was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards.
