Player Essentials for Teams 

Mental Preparation for Training and Games

Player Essentials for Teams is the next step in your team’s mental resilience journey — the second course in the 4-course Soccer Resilience Player Training Pathway.

Where Player Foundations builds awareness and a shared understanding of mental skills, Essentials focuses on preparation and execution as a team. This course teaches players how to prepare their mind on purpose — before training, before games, and in high-pressure moments — while creating consistent habits and language across the entire group.

Player Essentials helps teams move from knowing mental skills to using them consistently, so preparation becomes part of the culture, not just an individual effort.

What Teams Learn in Player Essentials

  • Prepare mentally for training and games with intention

  • Recognize early physical and mental signals of stress and pressure

  • Use proven breathing techniques to calm nerves and reset focus

  • Stay present after mistakes instead of spiraling mentally

  • Build confidence that holds up under pressure — individually and collectively

What’s Included?

Player Essentials for Teams includes:

  • 10 structured sessions
  • 43 on-demand videos
  • Player Playbook and Coach's Manual
  • 1 Feedback Form

Tools and Strategies: Practical mental preparation tools players and teams can use immediately in training and games.

Pressure & Nerves Management: Develop strategies to recognize stress early, regulate emotions, and stay composed when the pressure rises.

Key Benefits

  • Consistent Readiness: Show up mentally prepared for training and games instead of reacting in the moment.
  • Improved Focus Under Pressure: Learn how to stay locked in, reset after mistakes, and control what you can control.

  • Accessible Anywhere: Access lessons and activities anytime, on any device, including the Kajabi Mobile App.

Who Is It For?

Player Essentials is ideal for players/teams who are ready to move beyond foundational mental skills and apply mental training consistently in real game and training environments. It’s the perfect next step after Player Foundations for athletes who want to prepare their mind the same way they prepare their body.

Why Mental Preparation Matters

High-level performance doesn’t happen by accident. Players/teams who perform consistently under pressure do so because they prepare their mind before the moment arrives. Mental preparation helps reduce anxiety, sharpen focus, and build confidence — giving players an edge that lasts far beyond one season.

Take the next step in your mental resilience training and learn how to prepare your mind for every training session and every game.
