Game Face 🧠 — Your Sport Psychology Toolkit
Category: Sport Psychology · 1-page printable PDF · Free for ConnectedPE members
A two-page sport psychology toolkit introducing four core mental skills: Focus, Confidence, Visualization and Composure. Students explore the Inverted-U model to understand their own performance zone, practise transforming negative self-talk, build a pre-performance routine, and set mental game goals.
Mental skills are the least-taught part of most PE programs despite deciding more contests than technique does. This card makes them teachable at school level — every concept lands as an activity, not a lecture, so students leave with a routine and reframed self-talk they can actually use at Saturday sport.
Two pages, no equipment. Use it inside an HPE personal-development unit, as competition prep before carnivals or gala days, or as cross-curricular wellbeing work — the self-talk and composure tools transfer directly to exams and performances. Pairs with Track Ready's mental routine and The Reset's regulation toolkit for a whole mental-skills thread.
