Simulation Drills: 

• Put players in match-like situations with consequences (e.g., “double or you lose”). 

Breathing:

 

• Train diaphragmatic breathing 

• (4-4-4: inhale-hold-exhale) for calmness. 

Mental Reframing:

 

• Teach players to reframe stress as excitement or opportunity. 

Repetition of Pressure Scenarios:

 

• The more players experience pressure in practice, the more natural it becomes in competition.
