PODCAST SERIES FOR FOOTBALL OR SOCCER ENTHUSIASTS – EPISODE 10/10 Today, in the last of this 10-part series for footballer or soccer players, coaches and parents, I talk more about managing expectations, this time when your team is winning comfortably. Many players are guilty of taking their foot off the pedal, going into protect mode individually and collectively when this happens. I highlighted ways in which you can redirect your focus to dominate your opponent’s regardless of the scoreline. #mentaltoughness #resilience #sportpsychology #sportspsychology #footballpsychology #soccerpsychology #football #soccer #footballmindset #soccermindset #processgoals https://lnkd.in/eyR2-4-E

In this latest episode of Endurance Minded, Jay Discharry, the author of "Running Rewired" shares insight into a topic that's INCREDIBLY underrated in athletes: Preparation over Recovery 🏋️♂️ Sure, we all appreciate the importance of recovery in sports. It's like that refreshing drink after a long run, right? But let me tell ya, preparation is the real MVP here. Think of it as laying the groundwork for a skyscraper. You can't skip the foundation and expect the building to stand tall. Here, we break it down. Preparation isn't just about hitting the gym or the track. It's about planning, strategizing, and fine-tuning every aspect of your game. It's about analyzing opponents, honing skills, and visualizing success. It's about sweat, sacrifice, and sheer determination. Remember this: Preparation isn't just a step in the process. It's the foundation upon which greatness is built. So, hustle hard, train smart, and leave no stone unturned. Your future self will thank you for it.
