If you’re playing today, how do you prepare for your game?
For me, match preparation starts the night before.
Do you get to bed early and make sure you get a good night’s sleep?
What time do you get up on match day?
Do you eat the same breakfast, and how long before kick-off do you eat?
Do you pack your goalkeeper bag the night before so your gloves, boots, kit and water are all ready?
What about mentally?
Do you listen to music, visualise making saves, or think about crosses, one-v-ones and distribution? Or do you prefer to stay relaxed and not overthink the game?
A good match-day routine can help you feel calm, focused and in control before kick-off.
So come on — let’s share our match-day preparation below.
What does your routine look like from the night before right up until kick-off?
Let’s educate and inspire each other.
And if you’re playing today — GOOD LUCK! Go and enjoy it. 🧤⚽
