Episode Description

In and around most football clubs you'll hear statements like "this is a MUST win game today," "we HAVE to get 3 points today" or "great GOAL". It's common and very natural to be talking like this, to be talking about outcomes and results - though is it helpful?

This is what I unpick in today's episode of Demystifying Mental Toughness, the 1^st of a new 6 part series where I share some thoughts on why we may fall into the trap of talking so much about outcomes and results. I also look to challenge football and soccer coaches to consider the emotions and subsequent behaviours that are associated with such outcome talk for themselves and for their players.

Enjoy tuning in!
