Mind games: can talking to yourself make you a better soccer player?
NCT ID NCT07382518
Summary
This study looked at whether different ways of talking to yourself can help soccer forwards play better and feel less stressed. Researchers tested 36 healthy male university players over six weeks, comparing motivational self-talk (boosting confidence) to instructional self-talk (focusing on technique). They measured skills like shooting and passing, confidence levels, and stress hormones to see which method worked best.
