HOW TO PLAY WITHOUT FEAR

the interesting thing with fear is that it's by far the number one biggest handicap we humans are born with football is supposed to be fun but we hear about more and more young players who feel that they play extremely well at training and then don't perform at the same level in matches because they feel the pressure and are afraid of making mistakes i've tried it myself and if you like that as well today i'll give you some advice on what you can do to get over fear and be more confident when you're playing football we'll split it into two areas mental and practical that you can work on in order to boost that self-confidence so make sure you've subscribed and let's go because the worst thing you can do when you go on the pitch is to be afraid afraid to mess up or afraid to make the wrong decision and who knows maybe then even cost your team a goal maybe you care a lot about what other people think about you but if you're just looking to survive when you go on to the pitch and get it over with you make it 10 times harder for yourself because if you play with fear you won't go for gold won't try the dribble won't go for the optimistic passes and will just play a safe negative game so let's try and see how to get rid of that fear the first thing you can do is to deal with your mistakes by accepting them not that you should live with screwing up and it's great to demand a lot from yourself but you making a few mistakes shouldn't ruin your entire game but don't stop playing don't run around sulking and stop making excuses because nothing good will come of that and your teammates will most likely get annoyed and maybe shout even more at you which in the end will only make you doubt yourself even more instead you need to show yourself and your teammates that even if nothing else works you'll fight as hard as you can for the team in order to be an asset you can analyze your mistakes later so forget them when you're on the pitch buckle up and work even harder and then it's important that you remember that you failed because you tried you had the courage to try because you're a good player your self-image is extremely important because if you knock yourself down every time you make a mistake you'll see yourself as the player who always screws up and if you do that how are your teammates supposed to see you any different no instead see yourself as a player who is brave enough to try risky things who's confident and who learns from your mistakes and finally if you are a little insecure be positive even when others make mistakes sure it's an easy win to shift the focus onto someone else screwing up but at the end of the day being negative and shouting at your teammates isn't very constructive instead encourage them to get back up and try again and there's a good chance that they'll then change their tone towards you when you make mistakes as well but there are also practical things you can do to improve your confidence and the first thing is repetition see repetition creates muscle memory you don't have to worry about tying your shoes or taking a sip of water because you've done it a million times before so if there are things you want to be better at repeat them over and over and over again because when the time then comes you react on instinct and even if there's still a little bit of fear left in you it won't have time to affect you because you've already done it but if all this meant to work and repetition hasn't quite been enough and you're still in a match feeling a lack of confidence and a little bit of fear you can turn to looking at getting easy wins set yourself a goal whether that's nailing the next five passes beating an opponent win the next physical duel or something very specific that you can easily achieve because getting easy wins will build your confidence meaning that you can focus a little more on being a good teammate on communicating and trying more audacious stuff cause a win is a win no matter what so even if they're easy wins take them if you need to boost your confidence a bit more in the next games so in other words guys playing with fear can really you as a football player but if you remember to deal with your mistakes well get a better self image go for the easy wins and do a ton of repetitions i hope that you'll eliminate a bit of the fear when you play do you have any advice or questions you want to share let us know down below go get a confidence boost by getting a new fresh pair of boots from unisport in the link over there and learn how to improve as a football player in the playlist down in the corner and with those words guys i'll be signing off cheerio
