In the words of former NFL quarterback and Heisman winner Robert Griffin III, “Football is football and talent is talent. But the mindset of your team makes all the difference.”
With hundreds of hits and collisions in a single game, every move and decision counts in football. But what sets the real champions apart? It’s not just their indomitable spirit, but also the armor they choose to wear; the gear that can make or break a performance.
Let’s delve into the psychology of football — then uncover groundbreaking protective technology that will help keep your head in the game both physically and mentally.
The Psychology of Performance
Staying mentally tough in football is easier said than done, but the right warrior mindset — and gear — can make it possible. Whether it’s conditioning, practice, a regular season game or a playoff final, these tips will help you remain focused and fearless in any situation:
- Channel the power of both positive and negative energies to your benefit.
- View challenges as steppingstones to triumph, not barriers.
- Cultivate an unshakable belief in your ability to dominate.
- Exhibit unwavering emotional and cognitive self-control.
- Believe that you are in control of your life and destiny.
- Dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to every task and see it through to completion.
The Psychology of Protection
Additionally, choosing equipment that protects your body while also supercharging your performance is a game-changer. With more than 1.2 million football injuries sustained each year, according to the National Institute of Health, fear of becoming part of the statistics often holds players back from giving 100% to the game.
That said, wearing gear that goes beyond injury prevention has a psychological impact, too. This concept, known as “enclothed cognition,” suggests that the clothes we wear can influence our thoughts, feelings and behavior.
When athletes wear protective gear that they perceive as invincible, like Zoombang, they naturally adopt the warrior mentality. And it is this mental boost that gives them the confidence to be supremely focused and fearless, propelling their performance to new heights in order to achieve greatness on the field.
