Preplay Mental Preparation

Get Focused for Each Play

Do you (or your athletes) struggle with feeling prepared before each play? Is your mental approach to each play inconsistent? Do you dwell on the last play or judge your performance each play?

The reason why you feel a lack of focus or consistency is probably due to your preplay mental preparation. Consistent mental and physical preparation will lead to consistent performance in your game.

To have a focused and consistent preplay routine, you want to know what mental skills help you be mentally engaged for each play. In Video 6 of my series for mental toughness in football, I discuss how to be mentally prepared before each snap to help you play more consistently.
