Book a CallMental Performance Coaching for Football Players
One missed assignment should cost you one play. For most players it costs a series, sometimes a quarter. The difference is not toughness. It is whether you have a reset you can run before the next snap.
Donnie Gupton played Division I football at the University of Nevada and now coaches football players from high school to the NFL Draft process. Alpha Advantage installs a game-day operating system so you play calm, confident and decisive when it matters.
What football players come to us with
- Overthinking and anxiety before games
- Confidence that disappears after a bad rep or a benching
- Playing tight in big moments instead of playing free
- Being too amped on Saturday, or too flat
- Bad sleep the night before
Your game-week plays
You do not get ideas. You get plays you can run under pressure:
- Pregame lock-in: a 2 to 5 minute routine that switches on your game-day identity.
- Post-mistake reset: 60 to 90 seconds from a mistake back to your assignment.
- Halftime reset: a fast way to clear the first half and lock in the second.
- Night-before downshift: a routine to calm your body and sleep.
- Game-week rhythm: reset and review early in the week, confidence and pressure rehearsal midweek, calm and recovery before game day.
