The last play is over. Where will you put your attention now?

“Next Play” is a two-minute My Game Voice self-talk session for athletes practicing how to release the last moment and respond to the one in front of them. A mistake, a frustrating call, a score, or a great defensive stop—all lead back to the same cue: breathe, reset, respond.

Through first-person reminders and building competitive energy, this episode redirects your focus toward what you can control: your effort, communication, attitude, and responsibility to your team.

Listen before practice or competition, then carry “Next Play” with you when you need to refocus.

One breath. One reset. One response.

From Coach Robert Taylor and SMARTER Team Training.

When the game gets fast and the pressure rises, give yourself three words to come back to: Breathe. See. Go.

This My Game Voice episode builds a simple reset you can carry into competition. Take a breath, lift your eyes, recognize what matters, and commit to your next action. Through first-person self-talk and rising pregame energy, it connects composure with decisive play.

Use the cue before the first play, after a mistake, or when you notice yourself rushing. Bring your attention back to your teammates, the space around you, and the opportunity in front of you.

Listen before practice or competition, then make these three words your own.

One breath. Eyes up. Next opportunity.
