Every player hits adversity — bad game, getting subbed, losing confidence, injury, coach not rating you. The difference isn’t who has adversity… It’s how players respond to it. Elite players use a simple framework: 1️⃣ They separate the event from the identity Bad game ≠ bad player. One mistake ≠ losing your spot. Most players blend the two together and fall apart mentally. 2️⃣ They zoom in, not out Average players try to fix EVERYTHING at once. Top players pick one controllable action they can win today: - Win your 1v1 duels - Talk more - Sprint back on transition - Demand the ballSmall wins rebuild confidence faster than “motivation.” 3️⃣ They don’t hide Adversity makes most players disappear — fewer touches, less involvement, safer choices. High-level players do the opposite: 👉 They increase involvement. Getting on the ball more is how you break out of a slump. 4️⃣ They shorten the slump Everyone struggles. Elite players just struggle for shorter periods of time because they have a process. Your question today: 👉 When you hit adversity, what’s the FIRST thing that usually changes in your game? Comment below — we’ll break down how to fix it.

Hi OFA Community! Quick question for everyone 👇 Would you be interested in a 30–60 minute live Q&A session with a Division 1 player? You’ll get the chance to ask things like: • What is day-to-day life actually like as a D1 athlete? • How did their recruiting process really work? • How do they balance school, soccer, and everything else? I’m planning to set this up soon and want to make it accessible for as many of you as possible. Drop a comment with the days/times that work best for you (and your time zone). I’ll do my best to accommodate the whole group!
