How it works
Apply all four mindset principles (growth, process, failure-positive, pre-game routine) during a full competitive scrimmage evaluated by peers.
What you need
- cones
- soccer ball
- scrimmage vests
- goals
Your focus
Integrating multiple mindset principles in live competition is the highest-level mindset challenge. Peer evaluation of mindset behaviors creates accountability and makes mental skills as coachable and observable as technical ones.
Play a full 11v11 scrimmage or large-sided game.
Each team has 2 mindset observers from the bench who watch for: growth responses to mistakes, process focus, recovering from failure, and pre-game readiness.
Observers record specific moments (positive and negative) on a tally sheet.
At the midpoint, observers share 2 positive mindset moments per team.
Post-game, each player receives a mindset score (1-5) from their peer observer.
