In our coffee shop podcast Dave, Abbie and Martin discuss how match days create pressure situations for players AND coaches. We focus on:

  1. Mental skills in action

  2. Impact of expectation and scrutiny – pressure on coaches

  3. 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.
