Demystifying Mental Toughness

192 Coach-Player Relations: How To Support Footballers Who Are Feeling Powerless


Listen Later

It is common for footballers or soccer players to have different values and ideas about the game than their coaches.  On occasions, this can result in relationship challenges, where some players feel like they have been treated unfairly.  On the pitch their application and effort in training and in matches, can slowly dwindle, often without them realising.  Before they know it, they are only giving 70% of their full capacity.  Away from football this can take a toll and negatively impact their day to day lives, mood and relationships with loved ones and friends too.

What’s the answer? Many of these footballers or soccer players can get caught out focusing on external factors outside of their control.  This episode, is set up to help you if this situation sounds familiar, where I share a few ideas on how to place your attention on helpful things so that you give yourself the best chance of turning things around.
