Let’s face it. There’s a lot of stress and pressure around this game. On all fronts. Body. Emotions. Psyche. Team. Club. Fans. Media. You name it. Everybody’s pressing and everybody’s under pressure. The only way to cope is to lighten up and rise above it all. The only pressure to take seriously is the pressure you put on yourself. Such pressure builds strength.

Many players say they always play their best games under pressure. Why? Because they put the right pressure on themselves. They turn the outside pressure around and use it to their advantage. Do that, then cap it and release it when you are ready!
