Mental Training for Soccer Players

[@sib3158]

This video might’ve been the only thing stopping me from stepping up in my footballing career

[@coachchristo5745]

Best of luck to you!

[@felipecarvalho1323]

As a young player who stresses out a lot on the field, this really helped me! Thank you.

[@coachchristo5745]

I’m glad it helped you, that’s the goal, helping young players as much as possible!

[@pesmobile2695]

Vinicius Junior is one of the perfect examples of how the strong mentality helps us.

[@coachchristo5745]

I always enjoy juggling a ball. Very relatable the fact that juggling is a mental training to set the attitude you'd like to show on the pitch.

[@coachchristo5745]

[@jovanyrodriguez376]

Thank you, God brought me to your video, and now I am ready

[@coachchristo5745]

Happy it helped 👍

[@ceasarugwuanyi7209]

Thanks, this video helps a lot as a player who struggles with nervousness even in training. I’m nervous training with my club team but in my high school team I feel good and play the best.

[@coachchristo5745]

Yeah it can be different on different teams or at different points in your career.

That’s the goal, helping players as much as I can.

[@leiverdugo2793]

This year, I wasn’t mentally prepared for the games I played and wasn’t focusing on the right things. I myself haven’t fully played to my full potential and it’s because of me holding back myself for whatever reason…I focused too much on the physical aspect rather than the mental aspect where it counts the most.. I was never this fearful or anxious about games….And because of me only giving only barely 1/2 of what I’m capable of doing, I would always feel like the weakest link of the team. After a sucky season this year, I ended up getting my first major injury. I now am beginning to regret me not being checked in or even staying focused on something that can help my become the better version of myself. It’s been a lot to process lately but it’s making me realize how much I need to mentally stay in it and not give up. After watching this video, I think I can find a way to get me out of that mental cycle that’s brought me down. This helped a lot and it helped me see what I need to do for myself as I’m going into my senior year of high school✨💕⚽️

[@akbarfadilah6446]

today i did ball practice but during practice my training performance was really far from my expectation my training was really bad and after practice finished i cried and because my training was far from my performance but the coach gave me enthusiasm and motivation and friends gave me motivation I hope this video can be the driving force for me to be better and able to give the best for the team thank you coach cristo

[@coachchristo5745]

You got it!!

[@kajusmatazinskas]

thanks for the video i struggle a lot with self confidence and if i can get over this obstacle i can become great

[@coachchristo5745]

You’re very welcome! Mental training is very underrated and underutilized, I am sure it will unlock your potential and help you to become the player you want to be.

I missed a penalty in a shootout during a state tournament game and I had the same experience as you thanks for helping us out man

[@coachchristo5745]

No problem! We all love sport, but that doesn't mean that it isn't very stressful at times, and mental training definitely isn't talked about as much as it should be.

[@Xox.merari]

I’m so glad I watched this video I really needed someone to tell me I’m not just crazy and that my mental health when playing is just as important, thank you so much

[@coachchristo5745]

Definitely not crazy! I struggled with confidence issues as a player and had very little support, just trying to give players what I never got.

A single mistake, bad game, or even bad season does NOT define you. We all make mistakes every single day, but you know the player that you are, go prove it!

[@unknownlamalll]

Hey coach. Your video was actually really helpful even though I didn't understand it completely so I will have to rewatch it later but I want to ask you for advice on my situation. I am 15 years old and I 've been playing football for 10 years. However I have never played in an academy until before 9 months ago were after I finally forced my parents to agree, went to try out for a local team. (I decided to try for a team because through the years a lot of people (including my dad told me that I would be a great player). The coach told me that I wasn't good enough however, I believe I didn't get in the team because I had no experience in a real field(11v11). I took advice from a coach in Germany who told me that it would be better to take a step back so I went to a lower level team. After about one month we had a lockdown so I decided to fix everything I did wrong in the trainings we had. I started practicing almost everyday on all my weaknesses. I learned a lot of things about how I should play on the big field(positioning,roles...) and got my gameplay on a different level. However because of the lockdown I have not participated in any games to see how I will perform(Except a recent 11v11 with some random people where I played actually really good). My biggest concern is that I have a bad first touch and whenever I miss some touches or passes in a game I start playing terrible. I believe that when we come back I will be ready to play pretty good but I don't actually know if all this is worth it, since I am not 100% sure if I want to become a footballer. Not because I do not believe in myself but my parents completely disagree with this idea and I always try to balance good grades and training. I just wanted your opinion about my concerns.

[@coachchristo5745]

If you love the game, then in my opinion it’s worth pursuing. For 1st touch there are plenty of drills you can do. I have a full video on my favorite 1st touch drill. For not letting mistakes get to you the biggest thing is realizing that a single mistake, or even a game full of mistakes, does not change who you are. You know what you are capable, making a mistake doesn’t change that.

Idk if this is relevant, but i just want to lay it out somewhere.. I am a 14 year old boy who never loved football i played sometimes with friends but never got the enjoyment of it. I sucked and i still do but lately my love for football changed. i love it so much that people are asking me where did it come from? Honesty idk. But now i want to sign in a club but im so bad for a 14y old. I also am not good at handling shame and stuff, i can be very ashamed for myself. So my question is: Any tips for handling embarresement and how to feel a bit more confident. Im desperate
