Hello, Everyone.
Today I want to go over something that is
often overlooked by most players.
And that is, the mental side of football.
Many players concentrate solely on the physical
aspect on the game.
And although that is important, getting your
mental game under control is equally essential.
It sometimes can be the difference between
a player like Ronaldo and Messi to a player
that is toiling in the lower leagues.
The talent is there, but there head isn�t
in the right place.
I�ve applied this trick before some matches,
and I can�t remember a time where I�ve
had a poor game after having done it.
So here it is.
Between an hour and two hours before your
match, I want you to visualize yourself playing
really, really well.
Close your eyes if you must. And be extremely
vivid and detailed with it.
Go over situations that you would find yourself
in during a match.
Visualize yourself beating someone one on
one, playing a great ball through the defense,
making that perfect tackle and especially
scoring that all important goal.
This only works if you really concentrate
and trust in the process.
This also isn�t a guarantee, but it has
helped me every time I've tried it.
I can tell you that I used this method on
the bus ride to a very important match in
college.
It was our conference championship, and we
were playing the best team in the nation.
I visualized myself playing extremely well.
I went on to have one of the best games I�ve
ever had.
I ended up scoring a goal to tie up the game,
I even beat someone one on one exactly how
I envisioned it.
The result of having done this shocked me
at the time.
I did a bit more research and found out there
had been research done on this topic.
If you want info on the actual info, I would
be happy to share it, but for the sake of
the length of this video, I�m going to leave
it out.
If you leave me a comment asking for it, I
will gladly message you and tell you.
Ok everyone, I implore you to give this a
try. Let me know your results in the comments.
