In this podcast Dave Clarke, Cupello director of coaching, Martin Fairn CEO of Gazing and Abbie Sadler, Cupello head of womens coaching talk over a cup of coffee about how mental skills can be used on match days
We focus on:
- Mental skills in action
- Impact of expectation and scrutiny – pressure on coaches
- Predicting and preparing for discomfort – helpful or negative thinking
The theme is the impact of pressure in the moment including player understanding, coaching in front of parents, discussions that take place around mindset …and how ‘Red2Blue’ and associated tools can help.
The podcast looks at:
- The impact of pressure on young players without a coach on the sidelines
- How girls react to the coach
- Pressure on coaches on match days
- How can we predict the mental problems that will affect players during a game?
- Supportive language – blue head situations
- Acknowledge the existence of nerves
- Making mistakes – coaches as well as players
- Positional pressure – the goalkeeper
- Red2blue – a practical way to learn how to coach pressure situations
