Get in the zone - have the mental edge

Some players seem to be born for the big occasion. They pull their very best out of the bag when it matters most and they thrive on pressure. But in reality any player can develop the mental side of their game - all it takes is the right training.

As a sport psychologist, Keith Power has worked with top Barclays Premier League clubs and players, as well as former Olympic athletes. He knows what it takes to win and he understands better than anyone the importance of a positive and confident attitude.

There are a number of simple exercises that can help teams get a psychological edge over opponents. All it takes is commitment, both as a team and an individual. At the end of the day, teams that have the ability to stay positive, sharp and 100% focused over 90 minutes generally come out on top, so it’s worth the effort.
