Top flight football.
Everybody has an opinion on how should be played.
Very few get it right.
Gone are the days when a bit of fancy footwork would get you into the team, lot's of young lads can do that now.
It's amazing how a fabulously expensive team of players get out there and strutt their stuff, but end the game diasppointing and disappointed. Why don't they win? Why do they fail to impress?
Here's why.
Being a fantastic footballer only gets you to the starting line. Being fit is a given.
To stand out-you have to use your head.....more specifically, your mind.
Competitive 'edgeing' is increasingly about how you manage your thoughts, which control your emotions and behaviour-which when translated into footwork and movement-makes the difference. And Hell, what a difference it makes!.
Only the footballers who make the best of this combination, will set the world alight.
The ones who come onto the pitch visually 'hungry' to win. The ones whose body language is alive with passion and determination.
Some of them need help controlling their fire (Wayne Rooney?). It's not anger management they need-it's passion management.
There are some great football teams in our nation. But surprisingly, only a few individuals will ever really stand out.
And all because they don't take mindset management seriously enough. But they will, sadly for some, when it's too late. Football -and let's be honest, any other sport-the secret is, it's all in your head.
