The 3 Habits of Great Goal Scorers

The 3 Habits of Great Goal Scorers

Hi Friend,

Last week I was talking with an experienced Danish soccer player...He's always willing to offer some helpful secrets.

We started talking and we came up with 3 habits that great goal scorers like Pele, Maradona, Messi, and Donovan all have.

I guarantee these 3 habits will help you start putting more balls in the back of the net.

1. REMEMBER goals you've scored before. Does it sound difficult?
It's really not. Even if you this is your first season. You can remember goals you’ve scored against your mom, dad, brother, sister, neighbor or even the dog. The key is to relive the experience and it’s proven you will score more goals.

2. No whining. No complaining. No excuses. Don’t waste your energy. Instead FOCUS your attention on the result you want.

3. Practice more than anyone else.

Great goal scorers don't just practice 2 - 3 times a week. They find a way to put in more time than anyone else. I used to set up obstacles in my living room. The coffee table was a midfielder. My dad’s recliner was a center defender. Be creative!

These 3 habits catapulted me from nine goals one season to 21 the next. The pros use them too. So I guarantee they will help you too.

In fact, I’ve taught these three Golden Rules to all my students over the last five years. And the results I’ve gotten have been phenomenal.

It’s been truly amazing to me how all of the sudden player end up in the right place at the right time to score game winning goals.

As a bonus side effect these three habits also obliterate the “I Can’t” attitude. It’s like a light switch gets turned on and an “I CAN” attitude takes over.

I’ve watched players who were previously playing half a game put 1-2 balls in the net each game.

By focusing and using your imagination creatively success becomes a habit.

Wishing you skills and confidence,

Nolan Berentis

How Much of Soccer is Mental?

How Much of Soccer is Mental?

Growing up coaches always told me, "90% of the game is mental."
I'm willing to bet you've heard that from a coach or too also.

But do you know what it means and how it can help you?

I know the coaches that told me the game is 90% mental were well
meaning.

In fact they probably even thought they were doing me a favor
telling me that. But NEVER did any of the coaches I have support
their quote with an
explanation that made a difference in my results.

So I thought it would be helpful if I shed some light
on how your player can use the mental game to get
better results in practice and in their very next game.

Personally, I don't believe you can measure whether the game is 90,
95, or even 99% mental.

Maybe I should invent some sort of "Mental meter" that measures the
percent of the mental game and retire to an island.

But anyway... What I do know is that visualization is a part of the
mental game.

In fact it's the most underused portion of the game I see today.
Yet, the players that do use some form of visualization
(consciously or unconsciously) always tend to be the exceptional
players that get the best results
on the field.

What I want you to gather from today's Newsletter is this... adding
30 seconds of visualization to your practice can help you double
your skills.

Let me give you a recent example:


At my last "How to Fake Defenders Out of Their Cleats"
training session I asked my student what his juggling record was.

He told me and I helped him set a goal that was 40% higher than his
record.

He looked at me and said, "I don't think I can do that many."

I reminded him to take a deep breath and then to visualize himself
achieving his new juggling goal.

About 30 seconds later he tossed the ball in the air and began.

I watched as the ball stayed close to his body and bounced straight
up and down time after time. He remained calm and kept his eye
focused on the ball.

After about 30 seconds he approached his previous record and easily
passed it.

He was counting out loud and I could hear the excitement in his
voice as he surpassed his previous record. He lost his focus and
the ball
fell to the ground.

A huge smile crossed his face.

Immediately I suggested he set a new goal.
I reminded him to breathe deeply and visualize
himself surpassing his old record and achieving the new mark.

30 seconds later he launched the ball in the air and began bouncing
the ball off his knee, foot, head, chest, and thigh.

Two minutes later he was again all smiles as he easily set a new
personal best.

With the power of visualization and deep breathing I helped my
student double his juggling record in about 7 minutes.

Now let's take a look at YOUR soccer player.
I'm betting they want to improve. I'm betting there is at least
one area of their game that visualization could double their
results in.
I'm betting they would be ecstatic to become a better goal scorer
because they learned how to visualize themselves as a goal scoring
machine.

There is so much growth available to young soccer player
who learns how to use visualization and mental pictures.
And there's no time like NOW to get the ball rolling.

In my Gold Medal Training Program I show students how to program
their mind for success on the soccer field at a deep, deep level.

The results players get are truly amazing.

Get Great Ball Control in Under 5 Minutes

Get Great Ball Control in Under 5 Minutes

Have you ever heard this quote?

"Without the ball - YOU can't win!" - Johan Cruyff

Cruyff is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all
time. So when he makes a statement like that I listen.

When I read his quote I asked myself, "What does he mean?"

Here is what I teach my students it means.

"Ball control is the key. You and I both know, if you don't have control of the ball, the other team is sprinting down field putting
that ball in the back of your net!"

And kids lose the ball because...

1. They get nervous
2. They are afraid of making mistakes
3. They get too excited
4. They lose focus

So in order to flip those emotions upside down I teach two basic
skills to every player.

a. Deep breathing

Deep breathing is so important and so over looked.
When you are stressed and nervous you are a shallow breather.

But if you are relaxed... your breathing is slow, calm, and deep.

Deep breathing is an effective skill that will help you perform at your
best in the toughest of situations.

b. Practice without pressure.

Boxers call is shadow boxing. Wrestlers, shadow drilling.
I call it Shadow Soccer!

And it's a staple in all of my training systems and programs.

When you practice without pressure you gear your mind up for
game situations. You've actually performed the skill in advance.
Therefore your mind knows what to do automatically.

I work 'Shadow Soccer' sessions into each of my training sessions.

Just 5 minutes a day has been so effective players feel like
the ball is stuck to their foot. Even when they are under
tremendous game pressure.

These two skills are essential to mastering ball control.

Practice for excellence,

Coach Nolan

me post on my blog send me an email with your ideas.
Until then keep practicing.

How a 70 Year Old Speech Can Help You Win!

On October 29, 1941 the United Kingdom Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, visited Harrow School. He stood before the student body and concluded his life changing speech with the following words.

“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in…”

This weekend I watched an overmatched volleyball team get spanked in the first two games. They were half a step behind. Out of position on every block. And late on every spike.

Before the 3^rd game the coaches had a long meeting away from the players. And the players had a long meeting away from the coaches.

I watched each meeting closely. With about 40 seconds remaining before the start of the 3^rd game, the two meetings joined into one.

Immediately there was a tremendous SHIFT in the energy on the court.

I looked at my wife with a big smile and said, “They are gonna come back and win.”

She wasn’t so sure. Who could blame her? After what we just watched the odds were probably a 1000 to 1 they were going to comeback.

Yet, there was a different team on the court. No they didn’t bring in the JV. It was just the mental attitude had shifted.

Game 3 started with a 3-0 run for our team. Then there was an exchange of points and finally the underdogs (our team) put the game away.

Game 4 was almost identical to game 3. Towards the middle of Game 4 the crowd started to take notice and get into the game. And the team began feeding off the crowd. They closed out the game with a 3-0 run. There we were tied 2 games a piece.

Before Game 5 another long meeting took place. And again I sensed an energy shift. This time the opponent’s energy had changed. They started out 3-0. Our team was behind and the crowd was deflated.

But the players and coaches didn’t let up. You could see in their eyes, their posture, and their attitude that it wasn’t over until the fat lady sings.

They never panicked. They never gave in!

Point by point each player did their job. They made sure they played the game until the final whistle blew. And when it was all over they pulled out an amazing come from behind victory!

It was amazing to experience.

Their victory was a testament to the power of a strong vision, a passion to play each and every point, and a deep desire to “Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in…”

I hope you enjoyed this story and you use this lesson to build yourself a big, powerful goal that you want to achieve.

Best,

Coach Nolan

How to Put Yourself in THE ZONE

Tonight I watched a young man (15 year old, Sophmore), get his first crack at "playing" varsity football. We'll call him Aaron, well because Aaron is his name.

Aaron's a superb soccer player the doubles in the fall as a field goal and place kicker. Some have said he's a natural.

But I believe his work ethic, focus, confidence, and mental toughness are all pieces of the puzzle that caused him to get pulled up to Varsity as a back up kicker 6 games ago.

Tonight he stepped up mentally and was prepared to step into the game when the head coach called on him.

After tonights game his stats look like this:

Touchback
Missed P.A.T.
False start kickoff
Kick off returned 15 yards

I could see and feel, in his mind this was a subpar performance.

After the game I caught up with Aaron to find out his mental state after his performance.

The first words out of his mouth were, "Did you see my P.A.T.? I wish I could take that back!!"

I decided this was a good opportunity to help him leapfrog his current mental position. So I encouraged him to "Let it go mentally" and then asked him two questions:

1. Where was your mistake?
He said, "I was thinking about it!"

2. What do you do when you play soccer?
With a smile on his face He said, "I JUST PLAY!"

He got it... There's no reason to think about it in a game situation. All you do is "JUST PLAY!"

One of the secrets to success is remembering that thinking, contemplating, analyzing mistakes are important to achieving success. But they should be done at home, in the car, while showering, before bed, at practice - but NEVER in the game.

Mental rehearsal and evaluating mistakes are to be done pre-game and post game.

Game time is only about Doing. Acting. Execution. Allowing the work you put in at practice to flow through you.

Game time is your opportunity to breathe deeply, remember the goals you've already set, focus on the end result. Then Let it Go! Breathe Deeply! Then Go Do IT.

This my friend is the fastest and most effective way to achieve success. And it's a major portion of the mental method I teach in my Gold Medal Training Program.

Add in the Zen breathing exercises I teach and you will find yourself centered, relaxed and focused on your goals.

You'll be in the zone!

If you want the greatest opportunity to achieve your goals and perform at your highest potential then I strongly urge you to follow the system I laid out in this report. I also urge you to learn the zen breathing techniques I teach in my Gold Medal Training Program.

That way you can put yourself in the ZONE on command.

Go get em!
