Football without fear.
- 3. • Fear of making MISTAKES.. • Fear of not playing well. • Fear of losing. • Fear of how others value us. (coach/manager, players) • Fear of embarrassment. • Fear of letting others down. • Fear of not performing up to others' expectations.
- 4. WHAT DO THEY ALL HAVE IN
- 5. More importantly they don’t fear making them..
- 6. IS THIS TRUE? “All skills become better through the process of failure” • The biggest secret to success is failure. • You can never go from beginner to expert without failing. • Don’t ever be afraid of losing! Don’t ever be afraid of making mistakes! Failing and messing up are things that we all do in the process of growing and getting better. • Failure is nothing more than delayed success. That’s right! DELAYED SUCCESS! WHY? • Because, failure is feedback and tells you exactly what you need to change to be successful. Failure is feedback and FEEDBACK IS THE FUEL OF CHAMPIONS.
- 7. “I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
- 8. • Having FUN plays a big part to your success as a player. • Why? • When you go into a match with having fun as one of your goals, then you’ll end up performing loose and relaxed. Being relaxed is crucial to playing your best. • FUN is the best medicine to crush pressure. • Players cannot perform under pressure. “I play because I have fun, if I don’t have fun, there is something wrong. I am just a boy that likes to do what he likes, nothing else.”
- 10. KEEP YOUR FOCUS AWAY FROM UNCONTROLLABLES - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Can you Control any of these? • What your opponent does? • How about the playing conditions? (weather, wind, temperature) • The conditions of the pitch? • The referees decisions? • Previous games against opponents? • The future or the outcome of the game? You can only control the Controllables! Things you have direct control over. • How fit YOU are? • What YOU thinking? • How much rest have YOU had? • What's your preparation been like?
- 12. HERES THE SECRET – ITS SIMPLE • Find better players than yourself to practice with and compete against. While it's always fun and comforting to be the best, fastest or strongest, it won't help you improve as quickly in the long run. • What will push your progression forward and improve your motivation is to continually challenge yourself by going up against tougher and tougher competition. • Your competition will always push you harder than you can do yourself. • Your competition will always challenge you more than you can yourself. • If you continually pit yourself against creampuffs, soon you will develop a cream filled centre. • You may not like losing and being outperformed in the beginning, but you will like what this kind of bigger challenge will do for your overall development as a player.
- 14. • Players are afraid to make mistakes and fail. They believe that the absolute worst thing that could ever happen to them is to lose or mess up. • NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!!!! • To go as far as you possibly can in your sport you have to be willing to take risks. You have to be willing to go for it. • Without failure, you can NEVER be a success. • Taking risk can bring great rewards. • However knowing when to take those risks is key.
- 15. • Focus on the game. Forget everything else. • Control those things that you can control; your performance. • Leave those things that you cannot control; other people’s expectations, opinions and reactions. • If you make a mistake, brush it aside. Its gone. You cant change it, just learn from it. • Remember, even the greatest make mistakes and don’t play well all the time. • After every game or session, “have I taken something out of it good or bad. Have I learnt something” that's key.
- 16. Remember its only a game • Or is it?
