Training The Mind
FC Portland is going to start to develop the mindset of its players. We are going to create a You v’s Yourself mentality. Make sure have a pen and paper on hand when listening to this. Listen to this video and then answer the questions below.

1. Listening to Bill Beswick, what three things (or more) stick out in your mind?
2. Can you relate anything that Bill said from your own environment? What are they?
3. We all make mistakes. This is one thing that we can guarantee. When I made a mistake, I moved on from that mistake by apologizing to my team-mates. This helped me to make sure my next action was a positive one (apologizing) Think of a way you can ‘reset’ your positive thoughts after making a mistake. What would you do?
4.Imagine there was such a thing as ‘The perfect plater’. How would the perfect player react to these situations?
• Dealing with poor form –
• Making mistakes –
• Dealing with poor calls from officials –
• Being a goal down –
• Being a goal up –
• Mistakes by team-mates –
• Constructive coaching –
• Starting on the bench –
• Criticism from a team-mate –
• The ‘Big game’ -
