The U.S. Soccer Team put on a terrific performance tonight in the their opening game of the World Cup. They were a lot of fun to watch. After this game, there will be a lot of expectation on this team. Rightfully so. I’m excited to cheer them on.
I aim to watch as much of the World Cup as I can. I have many reasons. The biggest is I just enjoy watching the best people in the world doing their thing on the biggest stage. I watch all of the big championships in as many sports as I can. Fancy that the NBA Finals and NHL Stanley Cup Finals are happening simultaneously to the World Cup.
I watch for habits and routines to shine through. What’s revealed when the pressure is on is usually pretty easy to see. I watch body language and anticipate when someone seeks out a pressure situation and answers the call. As a fan, I sit on the edge of my seat hoping to see something like that. Something great. As a coach, I try to help athletes thrive in big moments. As an athlete, I felt like I performed best when the pressure was the greatest. I could watch top performers all day, everyday.
What are you planning on watching in the sports world over the next few weeks?
