We sat down for the second time with sport psychologist Dan Abrahams. Dan has worked some of the world's best athletes including premier league players and most recently with Arne Slot at Feyenoord during their title winning season. Even Gareth Bale said Dan's book "Soccer Tough" was life changing.
It's been over 2 years since we had him on and he has furthered his insights into how athletes tick. In this episode, we covered a range of topics from ANTS, Game Face & Match Script which we touched on last episode, but also spoke about his more recent findings with High Performance Mindset (HPM) and Low Performance Mindset (LPM) and how to best get into HPM. This is where the idea of attention, intensity and intent come in. Did you know that you can increase your chance of scoring a penalty by 10% if you simply wait 5 seconds after the whistle to begin your run-up? Or why communicating on the field can actually push you into HPM if done with the right amount of attention, intensity and intent?
We always enjoy talking to Dan, and this episode was no exception. This is Attention, Intensity & Intent with Sport Psychologist Dan Abrahams.

We sat down with Joe Gyau, a professional American soccer player whose journey has taken him from Silver Spring, Maryland to the soccer pitches of Europe and beyond. At just 17, Joe made the bold decision to leave his home and pursue his dream in Germany, joining the ranks of TSG Hoffenheim. In Germany, Joe spent time with renowned clubs such as FC St. Pauli, Borussia Dortmund, SG Sonnenhof Großaspach and MSV Duisburg. He opens up about his return to the United States with FC Cincinnati in the MLS, and his subsequent move to Sweden with Degerfors IF, where he continued to showcase his talent on the international stage. Joe also spent time with the US national team at the youth and mens level. When asked what make your own path means to him, he responded with “Have a goal in mind and unapologetically go for that goal.”
Having played in the top 4 leagues in Germany, the MLS and Sweden’s top league, we played a game where he was asked how each of his teams would place in different leagues that he played in.
Now with Las Vegas Lights, Joe reflects on his incredible journey, the lessons learned, and the resilience required to succeed in professional soccer. This episode is a testament to the power of perseverance and the unyielding pursuit of one's dreams. This is Chasing Dreams Across Continents with Joe Gyau.
