This week marks a year since Boris Johnson ordered everyone to stay at home

JJ thought that meant 4 weeks in the house and then he would be back out and about at games and watching his clients play

A year later that is obviously not the case

But how has he found it and what has happened for Football Mindset throughout that time?

Use this simple tool to set realistic expectations in your 1st game back today

From non league football to Champions League winner

If Steve Finnan's journey doesn't inspire you very little will in JJ's eyes

Success leaves clues

You might be reading the title of this thinking... wtf?!?!

But have a listen and let JJ know your thoughts on it

It is a topic that he is planning on going into deeper with his clients and this episode is the 1st step in helping him make sense of his own thoughts and start to put them into a system for his clients to use and understand

It is so easy to get caught up in the minutes that you played, or didn't play

But is that the most important thing?

JJ thinks that something else is more important than the minutes that you played

Do you agree?

When asked about Ravel Morrison on Sky Sports Off Script Jamie Carragher said that you can't say someone should have been a top player but wasn't due to lacking the mindset to be a top player

Carragher believes that the mental side of the game is something that is required to be a top player and if you don't have it you can't say you should have been a top player... do you agree?

One of the last things you want to be heading into a match is UNCERTAIN

Listen to this episode to find out how you can go from being uncertain to certain ahead of today's match with a simple change in focus
