What to do After a Soccer Game?
The best pros know how to take care of their body physically and mentally. They know what they do after the game is almost as important as what they do in the game.
Key Points:
Key Point #1 - Be a class act. Before you take care of yourself after the game make sure you are a class act first. Shake the refs hands, shake your opponents hands, clap to your fans and thank them. Pick up any trash around your bench area and leave your part of the field clean.
Key Point #2 - Do a light cool down. Take 5 minutes and do some light jogging, leg kicks, stretching, etc. Do this off to the side so the next team can be setting up on the field.
Key Point #3 - Think about your game. Take a few minutes and mentally do a walk through of your performance. List two things that you did well, two things you can do better. Maybe write them down in a note on your phone.
Once you mentally process your game, then forget about it, enjoy the post game rush and get focused for your next game.
A top pro once told me you want to have a good game, good game, great game, good game, okay game, good game, good game. That is being consistent.
You are not perfect, no one is. Don’t be upset if don’t have your best game ever, every game. So if you have an okay game that is fine. It happens. But if you are consistently playing good you are doing great.
Key Point #4 - Re hydrate. You’ve burned a ton of energy and fluid if you played hard. Make sure you re hydrate. Get a glass or two of water down you or some cold Gatorade.
Key Point #5 - Eat right. It’s probably not a good idea to slam a Burger King Whopper after a game. Don’t get me wrong I love a good whopper, but try to eat something light and healthy after your game, before it’s time for a big meal.
Key Point #6 - Rest! Think of rest like you are re charging to play great again for your next game. Try getting your legs up on the couch or taking an ice bath. These suggestions will help you remove lactic acid which causes soreness.
