RESET STARTER

After a mistake

At a natural pause, practise returning to the task.

  1. Say what happened

    Use a brief description: “I saw the shot too late.”

  2. Use a breath or small movement

    Settle your grip or touch the post. Breathing is optional.

  3. Look at what is happening now

    Find the ball, defenders or target.

  4. Tell yourself what to do

    For example: “Call to the defenders.”

  5. Carry out the next task

    Move, get set or speak.

For athletes aged 16+. Use in safe practice first. Stop if distress worsens or the situation needs care.
