Tips for competitive trails??

Tips for competitive trails??

Trials are coming up for the same team I played for 2 years in a row. I play GK and I know I can get the job done, sometimes nerves just get to my play. How can I help prevent this?? Thanks.

The problem with nerves is that you are focussed on the destination and not the journey. i.e.,you are focussed on getting into rep, a particular team, club ect and not the job of playing a position you love. Take away the importance of getting in, and refocus on just playing well and enjoying yourself, and if you get in then its because the selectors see that you are the best person for the team, and if you don`t then learn from the areas they point out that you need to work on. Enjoy yourself and focus on your game and not anything else. Good luck and hope that helps.
