In this episode, we’re joined by Mark Robinson, Ex-Head Coach of Chelsea’s Development Squad and former AFC Wimbledon Manager. With years of experience developing young players and leading teams at the professional level with unorthodox methods, Mark shares powerful insights into the psychology of football — how mindset, belief, and mental resilience can significantly impact a player’s success.
We dive deep into how coaches can help players overcome mental blocks, perform under pressure, and build a mindset that fuels long-term development and consistency. 💪
🎯 In this episode:
Lessons from Mark’s journey through AFC Wimbledon and Chelsea
Why wearing odd socks to highlight everyone’s weak foot helped his side!
Why he sent an U18s team to play without a manager!
Many other mindset tweaks that lead to big improvements
Whether you coach grassroots players or professionals, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on the mental game – and how to bring out the best in your players. 🔥
