Every day I write about the importance of players creating mental framework for their game in order to compete in their High Performance Mindset. And I get asked all the time, by both players and coaches “What do these frameworks look like? What’s actually in them?” Below is a...

I was asked by Stanford Men’s Assistant Soccer Coach, Jack Winter (Jack Winter) about the importance of sports teams having mental models or mental frameworks in place... My answer is in the 5 minute video below... In short…it’s critical! It promotes not only mental skill but also teamwork, leadership, feedback loops, and player engagement. Team and individual mental frameworks help your team to high perform more consistently under pressure. If you’re invested in developing a successful team - for enjoyment, for performance, and for outcomes - you need to build a mental framework. Take five minutes out of your day to have a listen to my thoughts on this 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Attention Intensity Intent It was interesting to watch Arne Slot talk about the importance of energy in his coaching practice. When I had the pleasure and honour of working with Arne at Feyenoord we used to talk a lot about helping players manage their energy - both physical and mental. Attention Intensity Intent In the model I use with coaches, intensity is mental energy. I used to talk to Arne a lot about players competing with an optimal level of mental energy (to complement the physical intensity that’s critical for the game). Arne being Arne - he was always open to my suggestions around managing and optimising energy. For me, in this video Arne is talking about the difference between ‘fun’ and ‘enjoyment’. Activities aren’t always ‘fun’ but players tend to enjoy difficult. They tend to enjoy the challenge. Sweat and smiles Sweat and smiles Sweat and smiles Challenging activities also tap attention and intent. Constraints and conditions appropriately set channel attention and a drive a high level of intent. Attention Intensity Intent Ultimately, when coaching actions related to the principles of play you want your players to exploit…do so with attention, intensity, and intent in mind… (Video found on ‘X’ posted by Football DNA - do follow them)

When Kevin Love opened up about his struggles with mental health in The Players’ Tribune six years ago, he had no idea the movement it would create. In 2018, he established the Kevin Lovefund — a non-profit organization that works to inspire people to live their healthiest lives by creating equity between mental and physical health. In honor of #WorldMentalHealthDay and the global launch of our book, 𝑰’𝒗𝒆 𝑮𝒐𝒕 𝑨 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝑻𝒆𝒍𝒍, The Players’ Tribune and ASSOULINE have made a donation to support Kevin's work. Together, we are committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. 💚

New University of Houston baseball head coach Will Davis on coaching Alex Bregman at LSU, what he learned from it: "I'm a hold the best players accountable guy. You've got to kind of treat them all the same. . . Now what made Bregman tick is he was very advanced on a mental level. Where he really stood apart was the mental aspect of the game. "People say coach on the field. But he did things you would never. . . He did some stuff in games, I tell these stories all the time to our players, that you were like... It's stuff that I have thought about being in the game so much. But you never expect a player to do it. "He would do stuff to try and help us win that was next level."

The biggest killers in sport = ANTs Automatic Negative Thoughts! They emerge…they can’t be helped…they are experienced by every serious sporting competitor… And what might be the biggest source of ANTs? Arguably outcome and performance… “We must win” “I must perform” …leading to anxious ANTs, worried ANTs, doubting ANTs… And so… Players can turn down the volume of ANTs by having a simple, practical mental framework with mental techniques they can use to focus, to compete at an optimal intensity, and to play on the front-foot… In the video below I’m talking with former Premier League player Jimmy Bullard about this… 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Put a footballer in an activity with moderate to low emotional stress and they will execute actions with positive intent (approach behaviour) Now put them on the pitch in a game perceived to be important…behavioural inhibition can kick in This is one reason why session design and coach behaviour are prime mediators of player mental skills And it’s why coaches need a psychological framework as a template to help player and team mindset Attention Intensity Intent “In the most important games, our players compete in their High Performance Mindset…with attention, intensity, intent. I know this because every player has their own unique mental framework and our team is committed to High Performance Mindset as a collective… …I know this because we’ve trained High Performance Mindset in every activity in every session every day…through our designs and through our instructions” Every activity Every session Every day

The ever impressive Sean Dyche… “We’ve gotta run and run and run some more” - there’s nothing complicated to it he claims. Now, Mr. Dyche is one of a few Premier League managers I haven’t had the pleasure to meet…but if I did I know what I’d want to talk to him about. I’d be bold. I’d give him a knowing smile and a little wink: “Come on Mr Dyche who are you kidding? This is years of playing and thinking. This is years of study that you’ve wrapped into a simple framework you can take with you anywhere…” Simple masking complex… Now, of course, he might push back: “No Dan this really is simple” - but there’s nothing simple about team shape, pressing, recovery lines, working in synch… No, Mr Dyche, no…this is just darn good coaching. And darn good coaching is neither simple nor easy. It’s complex and hard. I love the fact that Mr Dyche speaks about the importance of a framework. And that players can then explore from that framework. They ca explore and create. But a solid base is needed. This resonates with me because my work as a sport psychologist functions in a similar vein. I want the players and teams I work with to be passionate about High Performance Mindsets. I want them to be students of mindset. I want them to take control and take charge of three mental skills - attention, intensity, intent. From this framework I believe they can optimise the execution of their technical, tactical, and physical actions. From this framework I believe they can their best possible performance. From this framework I believe they can be tough to beat (not impossible to beat…but tough to beat)… The ever impressive Sean Dyche sells you his simple. But his simple is enveloping the complex. His simple is years in the making…

Donovan Edwards on being asked if he’s been frustrated with his season individually. “I feel like this season has been more of a mental aspect for me. I feel like I’m going to be perfectly fine in the future.” He also says he’s been seeing a therapist to help with his mental health for his struggles. But he made a point that it’s still about his team success first and foremost.

Roy Keane: “It’s just an act…” 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Below is perhaps one of the most insightful clips I’ve watched related to the psychology of adult elite sport (the professional level of sport). Tucked away…silently…in a BBC interview quite some years ago. A small section of an interview with Roy Keane, one of the Premier League’s greatest players… “It’s an act. Of course I had self-doubts, but I kept an act up. The skinhead. A few sendings off. I fear nothing. Some sort of machine. Which is nonsense. You act, don’t you!” Roy Keane was a great actor. He acted when he took to the pitch. He had, what I call a ‘Game Face’. I wrote about my mental technique of ‘Game Face’ in my first book Soccer Tough (a book that I’m proud to say Gareth Bale called life changing). And I expanded on ‘Game Face’ in Soccer Tough II. A ‘Game Face’ is a term I use to describe a player’s best ‘mental state’ and ideal ‘competitive persona’. It’s a pictorial metaphor that helps players think about, imagine, and then self-regulate around who they want to be in the heat of battle and how they want to execute their actions. “I’m my Game Face no matter what. I say it, be it, do it, act it…embody it, enact it” To bring this alive I’ll provide some examples… I spent five years working with someone considered one of the best defenders in the world. He had a ‘Game Face’ of ‘Dominant & Relentless’. These last two years working with Feyenoord as they won the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup, one of the players had a ‘Game Face’ of ‘Positive Upbeat Benzema’ When England played in the final of the rugby World Cup in 2019, one of the players had a ‘Game Face’ of ‘Aggressive Energetic Lion’ (I was lead psych prior to the World Cup). You see, these are pictorial metaphors consisting of action-based words, often combined with a model player or concept such as an animal. Metaphors are wonderful linguistic tools for self-regulation, and can help human beings execute actions at a high intensity level, as well as engage in a competition with approach behaviour (on the front-foot, energy forward). Ultimately, sports competitors would do well to be great actors when they need to be. This doesn’t mean there’s anything inauthentic about their style of play. On the contrary, a ‘Game Face’ is robust in that it offers a description of ‘who they are’ and ‘who they need to be’ when kick-off arrives. It offers a dynamic descriptor of ‘who they are’ and ‘who they need to be’ in-game when the pressure is on. A ‘Game Face’ is a mix of authentic and inauthentic mental (and personality) states that enable players to adapt and flex when they need to. Roy Keane had a ‘Game Face’. He was an actor when he needed to be. In his words, it helped him find ‘the zone’. A ‘Game Face’ is the most powerful technique I’ve devised over the years…one that enables me to help players take charge of themselves and take control no matter what. To dominate their mindset and own their mindset no matter what… …no matter what!

Darko Rajaković discusses his growth plan for this offseason and trying to improve his own mental performance. “I have a mental performance coach that I am working with in Brian Cain, who’s helping me a lot. He’s helping myself individually, but also in preparation for what kind of leader I need to be for the team.” You can’t ask your players to have an offseason development plan while failing to create one for yourself. Player development and coach development are connected. If you want your players to keep growing, adapting, and improving, then they need to see you doing the same. Better leaders create better environments and better environments help players become better versions of themselves. Much respect to Darko for modeling the standard and shoutout to Brian Cain for the impact he continues to have across the mental performance space. 📹: Toronto Raptors

A manager trying to rouse his players… Cortical arousal…a call for mental activation and physical intensity… Mikel Arteta using words, sentences, phrases enveloped in tone, volume, rhythm, pause…trying to tap into memory, striving to evoke pain and pleasure, cautioning threat while willing reward. Motivation - to move towards and to move away from. Mental activation… The challenge for any coach is to recognise the cause of performance lapse. Do my players need to rise in intensity or do I need to cool the nervous system? Might a rise be true for one and a drop be true for another? Should this come from me or should this come from my players? Questions…questions! For me…pre-planned: -individual mental frameworks -a team mental framework Then time for: -players to group together to speak -the coach to assert the tactical plan enveloped in those mental frameworks -mini individual conversations An all-in feel…an integrated approach. Cortical arousal, narrative, and meaning in competitive sport are strange things. One player is best served in a state of physical dominance while another is best suited to a playful state akin to playing mate’s football. Player one: dominant, relentless, strong Player two: playful, focused, free No hard, fast rules other than this - each and every player has their ideal mind and body state that helps them to anticipate, make decisions, co-ordinate their body, and execute at an appropriate physical intensity. And that state must be found and maintained in each and every game. I love Mikel Arteta’s passion. I love his energy and his vibrancy. I also love the complexity of the human. With 11, 13, 15, 18 plauers all gawping at you, hanging on every word you say…you never quite know whether the content or the delivery is suited to everyone in the room… …you never quite know… And that’s what makes sports coaching so much fun and so intriguing. That no matter who you are and no matter what level you coach at…coaching is a decision-making process where even the very best and even the very famous are making a best guess most of the time. A best guess most of the time…

🗣️ Arbeloa: “I understand people might have doubts about playing Thiago Pitarch, an 18-year-old lad, in a knockout tie like this. But from the very first day you asked me about him, I was very clear. I know what he’s capable of, his personality and the work he puts in. He’s a player who, because of what he shows on the pitch, earned a huge ovation from the fans, and it was fully deserved. He represents Real Madrid academy very well, and it’s something we need to value much more. If it doesn’t come from outside, then it has to come from within. The best players in the world come here and the club pays very high transfer fees for them, but the academy boys deserve a chance and to be valued. It’s very important for a dressing room to have people who understand what Real Madrid is. Academy players like Carvajal have been, and still are, very important. I’m very happy with the brilliant game Thiago played, with the ovation he received, and with the minutes Manuel Ángel got.”

Tony Gwynn shares what it took to become one of the greatest hitters of all time and how to master the mental game. "It took me a while to figure it out, but after about 4 or 5 years, I started to realize that this thing was more mental than it was physical." He didn't figure it out alone. "Those first 5 years, I had great conversations with a lot of great players. Pete Rose, Willie Stargell, Henry Aaron, Mike Schmidt. I had a chance to sit down and talk to 'em - pick their brain, find out how they do what they do." The greats learn from the greats. They never stop learning. They never stop wanting to get better. "After about 4 years, I started to realize that this is more mental than physical. So what I need to do is get an approach that I think will work and then just trust the approach. Trust what you practice on. Trust it." That's the key. Create the plan then work the plan. And when it's not working, you still trust yourself. "During the winter, I can hit in a cage and be mechanically sound. But the first time I hit live in spring training, I'll be lucky if I get a ball out of the cage." "For younger guys, that's a sign of, 'Oh, I'm not getting out of the cage,' so they try to speed things up, do things quicker." Trust your approach and stay under control. Don't let frustration change who you are. The game is mental. The greats know that and they learn how to build a process that works for them. They adapt as needed, but they learn the art of focus. Focusing on how to master and trust the process. (🎥Special Collections )

Tony Gwynn shares what it took to become one of the greatest hitters of all time and how to master the mental game. "It took me a while to figure it out, but after about 4 or 5 years, I started to realize that this thing was more mental than it was physical." He didn't figure it out alone. "Those first 5 years, I had great conversations with a lot of great players. Pete Rose, Willie Stargell, Henry Aaron, Mike Schmidt. I had a chance to sit down and talk to 'em - pick their brain, find out how they do what they do." The greats learn from the greats. They never stop learning. They never stop wanting to get better. "After about 4 years, I started to realize that this is more mental than physical. So what I need to do is get an approach that I think will work and then just trust the approach. Trust what you practice on. Trust it." That's the key. Create the plan then work the plan. And when it's not working, you still trust yourself. "During the winter, I can hit in a cage and be mechanically sound. But the first time I hit live in spring training, I'll be lucky if I get a ball out of the cage." "For younger guys, that's a sign of, 'Oh, I'm not getting out of the cage,' so they try to speed things up, do things quicker." Trust your approach and stay under control. Don't let frustration change who you are. The game is mental. The greats know that and they learn how to build a process that works for them. They adapt as needed, but they learn the art of focus.

Surprised to hear the outrageous things said about Biju Babu by a BJP MP. I don’t think he knows that Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had given him an office next to his in Delhi while he was still Chief Minister of #Odisha to help with strategy during the Chinese conflict and fight the Chinese. I was about 13 years old then, but I remember how furious Biju Babu was with the Chinese attack and how much he did to repel it. I think the MP needs some mental doctor’s attention. #BijuBabu

I asked JJ Redick about this and whether or not he has also shown tape from his playing days on defense to his team. He said there has been only one time, and it was in a clip featuring LeBron James on offense with JJ defending him. “The only clip I've ever shown the team was, we were not taking charges to start the year, my first year, last year, and I wanted to get the guys incentivized to understand the importance of taking charges and using that as a means of rim protection. So I showed a clip of me taking a charge on LeBron, catching his spoon move, and it was his left elbow that went into my eye, and I got nine stitches and a concussion, but that's the one clip I've ever shown them.”
