Led me to wonder...how do these players actually do it before a game?
Do they have people instructing them how to relax before this kind of thing?
Must admit it's difficult for me to sleep anyway but this is adding some tension [Post edited 6 Apr 2:23]

To them, it is just another game until about 10am. Woolfy and Clarke may have struggled a bit, but all will be fine. |  | | |

They get well paid better than us..I'd sleep well on their wages. | | | |

So you're saying the only thing that keeps humans awake at night is low wages? |  |

According to some forums it’s drugs isn’t it? | | | |

I spoke to a former pro about this a few weeks ago
His basic answer was that mental prep was everything. It’s not just about worrying the night before , it’s about remembering all the things you’ve been told , the planning and the task he had to do - it starts the minute the previous match is over - there’s research to remember and there’s lots of “options“ and he personally didn’t have time not to sleep! Because on top of that mental prep was all the physical stuff, the training and fitness etc
Tbf he played 30 -35years ago at the very top so eh acknowledges things have changed / but it’s a good insight |  |

That's really interesting. For me the extra instructions would just be added to the thoughts bouncing round in my head at 3am but I guess that's why I'm not a professional footballer!
Either way hope everyone got enough rest to enjoy(!) today, uppa towen | | | |

Apparently even years ago (this is pre premier legwue) clubs would have info on who is left footed right footed , favourite moves , traits , things that would wind them
Up etc
Fascinating really | |

The other thing is that they've mostly been doing this since childhood. It's just how their world works. In addition, they can directly and personally affect the outcome of today, which probably makes it easier.
Plus most of them didn't grow up with the rivalry, or are necessarily even Ipswich fans (as distinct from being dedicated to doing the best possible job while here). |  |

It's easy it's what makes the difference between good and top players it's mental attitude. | | | |
