Self-talk in sport…

Athletes can instruct themselves. They can energise themselves. They can talk to themselves positively or rationalise any given situation.

Self-talk is a mental technique that drives mental skill and can be practiced in every activity and used in every game

@IzzyFunny @NiceisRich @GuyDealership What made you switch from volt?

@TimLees10 Good point Tim

[Tim Lees @TimLees10]

Cruyff breaks this down so simply, which he did with everything. The tactical complexities needed to achieve defending this way though are much more complex. He was so far ahead of his time.
