Bettering YOUR Game!
Rossco’s Tip of the Week |
|
|
We’ve heard what MJ does to prepare himself for games. I know I like to think
about my family back home and prepare myself to play in a way that would make
them proud. But what works for you? Everybody is different, think about it and
figure it out to help you give top performances every weekend!
This classroom session with the u12 girls
will help them to prepare mentally.

So what’s Rossco ranting about this week? |
|
|
So, there’s no place for psychology in sport right? Your mental state
doesn’t affect your performance on the soccer field, right? NO CHANCE!
The psychological aspect of the game is massive, and should NEVER be
overlooked. Preparing mentally is just as important as preparing
yourself physically, technically and tactically. The quicker you buy
into the psychological aspect of soccer, the quicker you improve as a
player; it’s as simple as that. As a club, JUSC recognizes the
importance of a holistic approach to developing our players and we have
already begun to introduce psychology sessions into our curriculum. Well
done to those who have already participated!

What’s happening at JUSC? |
|
|
Shedzy, Mattie and Oz attended the
annual coaches convention in Philadelphia and have come back armed with new and
innovative ideas, helping ensure that JUSC remains at the cutting edge when it
comes to coaching and developing our players. The importance of the
psychological component of soccer was clearly highlighted at the convention and
our coaches were able to learn from the crčme de la crčme of soccer
psychologists, exciting stuff!
Here is the convention schedule for those who are interested:

In other news, our U16 boys are heading to Las Vegas to represent JUSC! The lads
will take part in a college showcase tournament, giving them the chance to play
in front of college coaches who are looking for talented prospects for their
program. What a fantastic opportunity! Good luck guys!
