9 out of 10 athletes leave performance on the table - because of how they breathe.

When you breathe the wrong way, you lose power in your legs, your focus fades, and your emotions swing out of control. 


It’s what makes you feel anxious and doubt yourself - even when you’ve got the skills.


In this short video, discover the 5 biggest mistakes players make when trying to calm down before a game

👇 and how to fix them using Box Breathing.👇


3 MENTAL CHALLENGES 

MANY PLAYERS KNOW

breathwork for better focus and concentration

Problem 1

100% Focus and Concentration

Many players notice it takes a few minutes to fully arrive mentally after kickoff. The first touches feel off, decisions are a split second late, and instead of setting the rhythm, you’re reacting to the game. This is not a lack of ability and you know this, because you show it in training every day. Instead it’s your system still catching up to game speed.

breathwork cramps

Problem 2

Fatigue and Cramps

Burning legs and late-game cramps aren’t just lactic acid. When your breathing muscles fatigue, blood gets "stolen" from your legs and your sprint speed collapses. Cramps are often not about fitness or effort but wrong breathing due to higher stress and pressure.

Problem 3

Performance Anxiety

Being jittery before kickoff means you are already burning off vital energy needed for the game. Feeling nervous before the game doesn't mean you are weak - it means your system is over-activated and you haven't learned how to stay in control yet. If mistakes throw you mentally off balance and even affect your sleep, start to train your nervous system and witness how you become mentally stronger by the minute. 

YOUR CERTIFIED BREATHWORK COACH

ABOUT STEFAN

Stefan is a certified Oxygen Advantage Breathwork Coach and trained in Sports Psycholgy at FC Barcelona.


He works with pro level and youth athletes including teams such as Gotham FC, Bayern Munich, Bournemouth FC and others.


Talking to scouts and elite academy coaches from clubs like Orlando City, New York Red Bulls, or Borussia Dortmund, they all repeat the same:


"Talent only takes players so far. Top clubs look for players with mental toughness, emotional control, and the ability to stay focused and concentrated even under pressure or after mistakes."

Here is what most overlook

It's your breathing that actually drives your mindset, emotions, and even the power of your legs because of how well you use oxygen. In short - breathing influences your performance more than you think. Because it directly influences the nervous system, it’s the fastest and most measurable way to shift from performance anxiety and overthinking to clarity, focus, and consistent play."Every strong mindset starts with functional breathing"
