Here's what most pre-game advice gets wrong: it treats nerves like a personality flaw.

Something you're supposed to push through with willpower, or grow out of with enough experience.

That's not what actually happens.

I was pulled into the national squad on the back of one thing... my coach saw I had the skills, but he told me point blank that my mental game was going to decide whether I made it or not.

Six weeks later I was on the field making my international debut.

I had never played a junior international game in my life. And in that debut, with every reason in the world to freeze, I scored.

Not because I'd "toughened up." Because I had a specific process for what to do with my head in the minutes before push back, so the nerves stopped running the show.

That's the difference between generic sports psychology (i.e. breathe deeply, believe in yourself) and an actual pre-game protocol.

Generic advice tells you what to feel.

This workshop gives you a sequence of four steps, in order, that you run in the 5 minutes before you step on the field.

It's not about eliminating nerves, it's about what you do with them.

You can find plenty of free content telling you to "stay calm" and "trust your training."

But none of it tells you what to physically and mentally do, in what order, in the window that actually matters. That's what you're getting here.

In this game changing workshop, I'll take you through exactly what I did before my first international game that led to scoring a goal on my debut (despite feeling nervous) and how you can get into the zone before games so that you perform your best consistently.
