We know he likes to bake biscuits for his friends. We know he doesn\u2019t know what \u201coffsides\u201d means in soccer. We know he keeps a jar of peanut butter open on his counter so he can take a scoop with his finger as he walks past. We know he wore pajamas to his high school prom and had crushes on both his art teacher and his best friend\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n<p>But what we know about Ted stops, mostly, with the events in Season 1; there\u2019s precious little to be gleaned about his past and his family history from the first 10 episodes. With a sports psychologist, Sharon (Sarah Niles) joining the team \u2014 and Ted\u2019s panic attack \u2014 we think those tidbits just might become relevant in Season 2. So, while it\u2019s not a whole lot, here\u2019s what we do know about what led Ted down his current path.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1006145\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ted-lasso-nick-mohammed-jason-sudeikis-1014x507.jpg\" alt=\"Nick Mohammed Ted Lasso Jason Sudeikis Brendan Hunt\" width=\"1014\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ted-lasso-nick-mohammed-jason-sudeikis-1014x507.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ted-lasso-nick-mohammed-jason-sudeikis-450x225.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ted-lasso-nick-mohammed-jason-sudeikis-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ted-lasso-nick-mohammed-jason-sudeikis-570x285.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ted-lasso-nick-mohammed-jason-sudeikis.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hes_From_the_Midwest\"><\/span>He\u2019s From the Midwest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>And Kansas, to be specific \u2014 Merriam, if you\u2019re looking at the Ted Lasso <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> account, or Kansas City, if you\u2019re <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/entertainment\/tv\/article252781243.html\">listening to Jason Sudekis<\/a>. Ted\u2019s Midwestern roots show themselves plenty of times throughout the first season, in everything from his references to barbecue (and having barbecue sauce shipped to him from America) to certain shirts representing Kansas City culture and restaurants. We don\u2019t know where he went to college, but we know he met his ex-wife there\u2026 and given how much of Ted\u2019s life has been Kansas-based, it doesn\u2019t seem like a stretch to assume he went to college there, too.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hes_Good_at_Darts\"><\/span>He\u2019s Good at Darts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In one of our favorite moments from Season 1, Ted bested Rupert (Anthony Stewart Head) by getting a bullseye and two <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>le-twenties. We learn Ted\u2019s proficiency with darts came from playing the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> with his father every Sunday, starting when he was ten years old and ending when his father passed away, when Ted was sixteen.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a decent amount to unpack just from that. First of all, it\u2019s relevant that Ted and his dad were playing at a bar\u2014not at their home. It\u2019s a little surprising that Ted\u2019s dad would take a ten-year-old to a bar so consistently (given Ted\u2019s eventual choice of career, it\u2019s probable he and his dad went there to watch Sunday football games). On the other side of that coin, though, one could assume Ted and his dad might\u2019ve been close, given that they had the same ritual each Sunday and Ted seems to look back on it fondly.<\/p>\n<p>Also, we learn here that Ted\u2019s dad passed away when he was pretty young. It\u2019s interesting that we don\u2019t know much, if anything, about Ted\u2019s mom \u2014 Ted doesn\u2019t mention her, nor do we see him reaching out to her after he lands in England. It\u2019ll be interesting to see whether Season 2 delves into his relationship with her, since we know he has h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y memories with his dad.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-986753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jason-sudeikis-ted-lasso-2-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"Jason Sudeikis Ted Lasso Apple TV\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jason-sudeikis-ted-lasso-2-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jason-sudeikis-ted-lasso-2-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jason-sudeikis-ted-lasso-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jason-sudeikis-ted-lasso-2-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jason-sudeikis-ted-lasso-2-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jason-sudeikis-ted-lasso-2.jpg 2023w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"He_Was_Probably_Bullied\"><\/span>He Was Probably Bullied<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Part of Ted\u2019s crusade to get everyone to \u201chave a little love\u201d in their hearts is probably because of how he was treated when he was young and into adulthood. In the same conversation about darts, Ted mentions that there were plenty of people who used to belittle him and underestimate him throughout his life, because they weren\u2019t curious: they were judgmental.<\/p>\n<p>While Ted\u2019s usually pretty upbeat and cheery, dealing with that judgment, whether it came in the form of school bullies or unfriendly adults, probably left its mark\u2014and that\u2019s something he might discuss with Sharon in Season 2.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"He_Has_Panic_Attacks\"><\/span>He Has Panic Attacks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While he never acted like it, the pressure was certainly on Ted throughout Season 1; he was trying to coach a sport he didn\u2019t know in a country he wasn\u2019t familiar with, with players who hated him and a team facing relegation, all while his marriage was crumbling. That would be enough to make anyone nervous, but for someone with anxiety, it\u2019d be more than just nerve-wracking: it could be triggering. And for Ted, that\u2019s exactly what it was, and he suffered a panic attack in the show\u2019s fifth episode.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s notable that Ted says he doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s happening and thinks he\u2019s \u201cgoing crazy,\u201d which probably means he doesn\u2019t have a history of panic attacks or anxiety. At any rate, it doesn\u2019t seem he\u2019s been diagnosed or treated for it, which is something a sports psychologist could certainly help him with in Season 2.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Ted Lasso<\/em>, Season 2 Premiere, Friday, July 23, Apple TV+<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
