Receiving with back to pressure on the edge of the box 👏

Having an awareness of where the pressure is coming from and being able to take the touch away from that player is vital.

The mental side of the game matters just as much as the physical.

But it’s often the part forgotten about.

You’re going to feel nervous.
You’re going to make mistakes.
You’re going to have moments where the pressure gets to you.

But the goal isn’t to avoid those moments, it’s to learn how to actually handle them.

Being able to handle pressure on the field, is the difference between showing up, and playing to your potential.

🧠 Train your mind.
⚽ Play with confidence.

The things that often go unnoticed on the field… but can be the difference between a good player and a great one. 👀

Are you willing to make that 50-yard run, even when there’s no guarantee you’ll get the ball?

Can you be the teammate who leads, communicates and lifts others up when the game gets tough?

Do you check your shoulder and know what’s around you before you receive the ball?

These are the details that don’t always show up on the highlight reels.

The things you can master that have nothing to do with having the ball at your feet.

What would you add? 👇

Perfect drill for working on key aspects of the CAM position. 🔋

1. First touch work
2. Angles and body positioning to receive the ball
3. Positive first touch forward
4. Driving with the ball
5. Cutting inside to finish

Well done Brooke on the reps and fantastic consistency throughout this session 👏

If you’re a full back, winger, or just want to improve your first touch, try this ⚡️

Great for developing your first touch and allowing you to take your first touch forward, setting up your second touch.

Body positioning and hip positioning is key here to enable you to play forwards quickly.

What do you think of this drill?

What if we stopped letting the scoreboard decide whether a player had a “good” game?

Success in youth soccer has to be about more than the final score.

Did your child communicate with their teammates?
Did they keep going after making a mistake?
Did they make a brave decision?
Did they stay focused when things weren’t going their way?
Did they learn something they can take into the next game?

Those moments really matter.

As parents and coaches, we have a huge influence on what young players believe success looks like.

If the only thing we celebrate is winning, players can start to believe that losing = failure.

When we teach them to measure success by their effort, attitude, growth and response to adversity, we give them something far more valuable than a result.

Parents. Coaches. Players. Ask yourself before the next game:

“What does success look like for me today, beyond the scoreline?”

We are REALLY good at making assumptions.

Especially when something happens that catches us off guard.

A coach asks us to do something differently, a teammate reacts a certain way, or we don’t get the response we expected and suddenly, our brain starts filling in the blanks.

But the story we create isn’t always the story that’s actually happening.

One of the most helpful questions an athlete can learn to ask:

What do I actually know… and what am I assuming?

Sometimes you need more information.

Sometimes you need to ask a question.

And sometimes you just need to pause before treating the first story your brain gives you like it’s a fact. 🧩

Youth sport can be SO intense.

The practices, the games, the comparisons between top teams.

It’s so easy to get caught up in all of it.

But at the end of the day, they’re just kids playing the game they love.

When I was playing, so much of the focus was on getting better technically, getting fitter and performing on the field.

But what about the moments no one really taught you how to handle?

The mistake you couldn’t stop thinking about.
The pressure to perform.
The fear of letting your team down.
The loss of confidence after a bad game.
How to handle being benched.
The days when you knew you could play better, but just couldn’t get out of your own head.

I had to learn a lot of those things through experience.

And that’s a big part of why we created the Body Mind Performance App.

I wanted young players to have access to the tools I wish I had.

Practical ways to build confidence, manage pressure, improve focus and understand the mental side of performance.

The mental game shouldn’t be something you only learn when things get difficult, or when your going through a rough spell.

It should be part of your training from the beginning, and daily.

That’s what I wish I had.

And that’s what I want the next generation of players to have. 💛
