223 What Is Helpful And Unhelpful About Outcome Talk

In and around most football clubs you'll hear statements like "this is a MUST win game today," "we HAVE to get 3 points today" or "great GOAL".  It's common and very natural to be talking like this, to be talking about outcomes and results - though is it helpful? This is what I unpick in today's episode of Demystifying Mental Toughness, the 1st of a new 6 part series where I share some thoughts on why we may fall into the trap of talking so much about outcomes and results.  I also look to challenge football and soccer coaches to consider the emotions and subsequent behaviours that are associated with such outcome talk for themselves and for their players.
