Are You Under Performing in Games?

Do you have trouble performing as well in games as you do in practice? Are you losing to teams who you should beat? Or, do you get so frustrated after mistakes and lose focus for the next few plays?

Many soccer players have asked us help them solve these mental game issues. And we’re on a mission to do this….

How Your Mental Game Is Hurting Your Performance

If you are not playing at your highest level in competition, your mental game is getting in the way of peak performance..

Knowing this is the easy part… The hard part is trying to find out how your mental game is misfiring.

Get this: If you are not getting it done in games, you’re probably stuck in old, ineffective ways of thinking that hold you back.

Why would you play great in practice, but not in games? We have seven big reasons to share with your today…

7 Reasons You Might Not Perform as Well in Games

  1. You want to win too badly, try too hard, and focus too much on results
  2. You are afraid to fail and thus tighten up and over control in competition
  3. You are too concerned with other opinions or not disappointing others
  4. You lack competitive self-confidence in games and have too much self-doubt
  5. Your high expectations cause you to feel frustrated quickly after bad passes
  6. You focus too much on creating the “perfect” opportunity and thus limit your ability
  7. The pressure of the game causes you to become anxious or tighten up

Personal Mental Coaching

What are our mental coaching students saying?

“Our son plays academy level soccer. Jaki taught him how to focus on mini goals for each game and practice, how to lower his expectations and understand that mistakes are necessary to grow as a player, and helped his perfectionism. We saw a noticeable difference within one month with improvement each month thereafter. He was more confident, happy, and was having fun again at soccer. The confidence has helped him off the field as well to not have to be perfect in everything that he attempts. We can’t say enough about how grateful we are for Jaki!”
