PODCAST NOTES:

* For starters: I know how you feel, it's a big problem for everyone, so good question
* Comes down to the fact that you are putting too much pressure on the situation,
* if training you aren't worried and playing well, it's because at training you aren't putting pressure on yourself
* You aren't being afraid of the consequences of a mistakes
* And thus you allow yourself to play free and to your TRUE ability
* I strongly advise you to check out the podcasts I believe on iTunes "I'm not you, sports motivation" and check out the "Give yourself the green light" episode, you may even want to listen to it every time before a game if you feel it,
* But anyways: it speaks about "giving your self the green light when it comes to the game,
* Understand you've done the training, you've put in the nessecary work during the week, and you've done all that you can,
* and now it's just Time to let all that work reap the rewards
* Instead of continuing to stress
* Look at it like this: when it comes to training, push so hard, get stressed emotionally uncomfortable so you can firstly get comfortable with uncomfortable but secondly to squeeze out as much as possible from your trainings, be strict with yourself

* BUT THEN when it comes to the game, that's where you have your fun, that's where you can finally give yourself a break, even if you have to for your own mindset, to make yourself understand,

* think in your own mind that you're just taking the piss, just having fun, not caring about if you win or lose, make your self laugh, even if you have to fake the laugh or fake the smile,
* Try it in training, when you lose the ball litterally just laugh in your own mind, make up some sort of comedic side to everything in your own mind
* NOW, you may be think well dude, I have to play well or the coach will hate me and then my career is over

* Firstly, as the podcast episode highlights, thinking isnt going to make you player better, stressing over that you have to play well won't make you play well, give your self te green light, and just play, just kick the ball, just control, don't TRY and do anything just do it.
* I'd advise you to read the book "body mind mastery by dan milkman,
* But in any case, you wouldn't be asking this question if what you are doing isn't working for you
* So think about taking a new approach, and if it doesn't work, you're no better no worse, but if this becomes a big epiphany type break through then hey; wel worth it
* But secondly, it litterally doesn't matter if you play a bad game, like it genuinely has no bad outcome in the Long term of your life, it may even benefit you because you then get the inspiration to ask someone for help eg me in this case, and hey you may learn a few things or you may learn absolutely nothing from me but you simply learn from the people I mention you to check out
•
And I know you've probably heard the whole "just have fun" approach before, and for me I know it's just like" ok dude thanks for the help, " but honestly take this information seriously, and try it out practically like
* Actually fake laugh if you have to in your own mind when you make a pass, don't bash your self, trust me Soon you will actually just get more positive, I'm not saying this will instantly make you play better or 100% bullet proof
* but for me atleast it Makes you not be so overwhelmed by your own negative thoughts, and then continuing to make more mistakes and getting more negative until you're in the mahoosive negative cycle,
* break it, laugh about The mistake, hey you might make another mistake, continue to laugh about it "how in the balls did I that player intercept my pass, what a geezer" and then you will inevitably do something good "and instead of lingering oh well my other pass should've been like that, blah blah blah negative negative negative, still laugh about that the good thing, "dayyyum Kyle, mans got skills today" just create an upwards spiral of positivity not a snowball of negative doom.
* But another thing I'll Touch on briefly now, I'll make another video dedicated to this!
* Mediate,
* visualise,
* EFT, verbalise (affirmations
* Use all the techniques they will make you feel more control of your emotions, and for me verbalising just boosts your emotions, MOTION CREATES EMOTION, get outside of your head, that's key, stop overthinking that's generally the whole Problem
* Relax, you're gonna be fine, play well, you're professional career is coming to you, stick at it be patient, one bad game isn't going to destroy your career.. unless you let it,
* Your better of laughing making a Joke of the way you played but then smash your self, be strict be seriously, think about what you can and improvethrough Training
* And then come back and give it another shot next game, played bad or good try again,
* Just understand you don't have to have the skills of Messi tomorrow, it's a process, the most patient wins, long term patience but short term impatience (ie train train train) but understand nothing may come off the training for a while so stop getting upset and angry at yourself and others cause you aren't performing, it's not meant to be easy, you're trying to be an elite athlete at the most popular sport in the world, wake Up, get realistic, but love the process and the journey👊🏽bless
* While Im travelling im going to do more Of these ranting video, once I get home in Australia I'll get into more structured edited videos so you can get clear principles and tips, for now study what I say and put It in action
