Leading on the field starts well before the game begins. Here are three crucial tips for athletes as you prepare for game day:

1. Preparation is Key: Before you even step onto the field, your preparation sets the tone. It’s about being mentally and physically ready for the game. This preparation involves understanding your game plan, conditioning your body, and mentally visualizing your performance. When you prepare thoroughly, you step onto the field with confidence and clarity.
2. Give 100% Every Play: On the field, it's all about effort. You need to know, without a doubt, that you're giving everything you have in every single play. Consistency in effort is what sets apart good players from great ones. It's about pushing yourself to your limits and then going a bit further. This relentless commitment is what true leadership on the field looks like.
3. Mind Your Body Language and Team Dynamics: Your body language speaks volumes, both when you're winning and especially when you're not. It's about how you carry yourself, how you interact with teammates, and how you respond to the ups and downs of the game. Remember, your attitude and behavior off the ball are just as important as when you're in play. They reflect your character and influence your team's morale and performance.

These three aspects are fundamental for any athlete preparing for a game. It’s not just about what you do during the game, but also about how you prepare for it and how you conduct yourself throughout.
