Visualize the Game

You have spent the past few weeks visualizing your performance in this coming Sunday's game. You have conditioned your mind and your body to successfully execute our plays. You have seen yourself out-play your opponent time and time again. And in the end, you have visualized our team defeating Sunday's opponent.

Now, for the next few minutes I want you to visualize the full 90 minutes of this weekend's game. Close your eyes, relax yourself, slow your breathing, and picture yourselves out on the pitch. You are fired up, you are walking out onto the turf and the crowd responds loudly to your entrance. You take a look around, absorbing what you see, what you hear, what you smell and you allow all of it to energize you! You take it in as if it is liquid energy. Your adrenaline starts pumping.
 
The announcer acknowledges your presence and you run onto the field. The crowd responds to your presence with a thunderous roar- their team has arrived! You are pumped! You get in your teammate's faces and you let them know how ready you are! The stage is set and it is time to perform!
 
The referees do the coin toss and we line up for the opening kickoff. You are lined up across from your opponent and you know what you need to do to succeed on this kickoff. The whistle blows, the ball is kicked and you fly into action. You sprint to your designated area and you eliminate your opponent from the play. You removed any possibility of them succeeding on this play. They don't stand a chance. They never knew what hit them. They are in awe of you and your execution. When the whistle blows, you reach down and offer a hand to lift your adversary from the carpet. You smile, pat them on the back, and return to your teammates to do it again and again. The other team looks at you as if you've lost your mind. They start to doubt their ability to stop you. They begin to question their desire to compete against you. they are weakened. You have won and the game has only just begun! Visualize It!
 
Kick Butt on Sunday Goleros!
 
Miss you guys so much.
 
With love from Maine.
