7 Tips On How To Kick Under Pressure

Why the smallest adjustments can have the biggest results.

A quick note: I know I’ve bounced around email providers and websites, I’m going to stick to substack from now on (here) to grow my newsletter and podcast as a compliment to what I do on Twitter/X.

Thanks for sticking with me and being patient!

Enjoy! - Brendan


Key Takeaways:

  • You can’t force a kick to happen. But you can do things that will make it MORE or LESS likely to happen.

  • You need a target. The mind loves high, far, straight targets. If you don’t tell the ball where to go it won’t get there.

  • You need a routine. Routines let you stop thinking and start swinging more freely.

  • You need an in between kick routine. You need a routine for how to stay level on the sidelines throughout all the ups and downs.

  • You need to detach yourself. Your life cannot just be about kicking. You need other things going on that you like that you draw self value from.

  • You need to breathe. Learn how to slow your heart rate by even a fraction in the heat of games.

  • You need to turn the page. Gravity won’t turn off because you missed. You can do everything right and still not be perfect.
