This is the topic David discusses in this week’s Demystifying Mental Toughness podcast. He goes on to share’s 3 tips to help attacking players overcome such issues with anxiety and confidence, tension, and the tendency to play it safe.

  • Keeping a journal, noting down positive moments on the ball, how you think, feel and act can help you recreate the movements in your mind.
  • Use your time online wisely, study the best dribblers such as Messi and Neymar and practice these skills to build muscle memory.
  • Visualise yourself ahead of matches and training to mentally prepare yourself for different situations to reduce the fear of failure.
