Hey I am 13 and I play travel soccer. I am going to a tournament next week and a scout from a team I really want to make is coming, I am so nervous that I feel sick. Does anyone know how to calm my nerves?
Don’t try to play for the scouts. Play the same game you always play. If you worry about the scout too much, you’ll tie yourself up in knots with anxiety and you’ll play differently. Practice hard and gear up for the game. I’m guessing you play your best soccer when you’re “in the zone”. That’s when all outside influences and distractions fade away and all there is in your active mind, is the game. Keep your focus on the game and you’ll do great.You can worry about what the scout thinks after.
