Does your player...
Get nervous, overthink or lose confidence in games, especially against tougher competition?
Become discouraged and stop working as hard when they or their team make mistakes or experience setbacks?
Have potential to play at a higher level and their mindset is the biggest thing holding them back?
If your player experiences any of these challenges or other challenges regarding the mental side of soccer, keep reading.
How many times have you seen your player and coaches put in countless hours of hard work and training to improve your players' skills, tactics and athleticism, only to see stress and anxiety rob your player of their enjoyment and performance in big games and high pressure moments?
We believe players should be rewarded for all of their sacrifices and training by feeling confident and performing at the top of their true abilities!
Dr. Brad Miller, licensed clinical psychologist, has spent over 20 years helping youth, adults and athletes learn how to overcome difficulties and grow while experiencing adversity. As a former Division I soccer player at Wake Forest University, Dr. Miller knows how his mindset helped him grow. At other times, his mindset fed his performance anxiety. As a psychologist, Dr. Miller has learned that perseverance and controlling our performance anxiety are like a muscle. Any player can strengthen these mental skills, if a player is willing to work hard, step outside of their comfort zone and use strategies.
