Each lesson uses the Mental Skills Toolkit (see below) to guide players through the process of understanding, reframing and overcoming some of the most common mental hang-ups that players experience on the soccer field. While there can be many reasons soccer players may struggle with these specific challenges (including technical, tactical or physical components) these mini courses focus on the MENTAL aspect only. 

Each lesson contains:

  • a self-awareness check-in tool
  • a reframing tool
  • a on-field self-talk tool
  • a pre-game intention setting tool
  • a post-game reflection tool

Who is this content for?

These lessons are designed for players of any gender aged 12 through college. Invested, growth-minded players that want to take responsibility for their own development will benefit the most. The content in these courses is very helpful, but will have much more impact if players choose to take ACTION and try out the tools on the field. 

{includes all future adds}

How do you overcome obstacles, get better at soccer AND grow your confidence? 
By staying focused on things that you can control, and YOU CAN CONTROL each of the 5 steps in the Mental Skills Toolkit. 
Following this process will help you change behaviors, develop new habits and become your own best inner coach.

What is the Mental Skills Toolkit?

The Mental Skills Toolkit is a 5-step process that you can use to address any mental hang-up in soccer:

STEP 1: Gaining self-awareness
STEP 2: reframing the situation
STEP 3: taking action with an in-game tool
STEP 4: pre-game mental preparation
STEP 5: post-game reflection


{FYI - Your purchase includes the current 5 lessons AND ALL FUTURE lessons that drop.}

Many players are often given well-intentioned but unhelpful advice when it comes to dealing with overthinking, lack of confidence in 1v1s, etc. You’re a good player, just be more confident! You need to get out of your head! Just talk more, and stop worrying about mistakes! Players KNOW they should do these things, but they don’t know HOW. Because of this they can end up stuck in a never-ending cycle of feeling inadequacy and failure after every match – THIS IS NOT A FUN PLACE TO BE. 

When players are faced with a mental block, change is not as easy as simply listening to what you are told you should do. Your mind is powerful, and in order to overcome certain obstacles, it requires a complete mindset shift which means coming at the problem from a different angle all-together. Which is exactly what this mini course series does. 
 
These lessons approach these problems differently and offer real, USEFUL advice that actually works. In these lessons, the videos alone can be game-changing because the conversations are all immensely impactful and offer an entirely new perspective by introducing new ideas that offer a way OUT of this place they’ve been stuck in for awhile.
 
This set of 5 lessons contains simple, practical advice and tangible tools to help players overcome some very common pain points on the soccer field. The 5 mini courses are short, easy to follow and give you actionable steps and things you can do THIS week to level up your game. 

The lessons are quick yet effective. Each answers a common question and solves a specific soccer problem with a step-by-step breakdown and strategy for how to overcome the challenge. Each lesson will walk players through using our Mental Skills Toolkit to expand their game in this area.

 

Lessons each contain two videos (15-20 minutes total), a learning guide, two worksheets, a pre-game audio file and a printable ‘toolkit’ PDF.

The method: Each lesson uses the Mental Skills Toolkit to help guide players through the process of understanding, reframing and overcoming some of the most common mental hang-ups that players experience on the soccer field. While there can be many reasons soccer players may struggle with these specific challenges (including technical, tactical or physical components) these mini courses focus on the MENTAL aspect only. 

 

All content in these courses is my opinion and is based on what I have seen work firsthand with players on the field. The content is a combination of what I have learned from working directly with players both on the field and in a 1-on-1 environment, in addition to my ongoing education in the mental skills space.

 

Everything expressed here is my way of approaching these problems and how I would teach the content to players in a 1-on-1 setting. None of this information or these methods are either right or wrong, they are simply my opinion and way of approaching the problem based off of what I have seen work.

 

It is likely that there are pieces of this content that you will really like and resonate with, and other pieces that you will not. That is OK! My main objective is to get you thinking about things differently so that you can find what works for YOU. If how you get past the mental hang-up ends up looking different than what I talked about in this mini course series, AWESOME! It if looks exactly the same, AWESOME! All I want is to help you be able to HELP YOURSELF. With this yes, but also in the future with whatever adversity comes your way.
