Sports Psychology – Total Football, Mental Toughness and the World Cup 2010
The 1974 FIFA World Cup will be forever remembered as the year Holland displayed to the world their phenomenal style of play known as ‘Total Football.’ The Dutch team of ’74 appeared to have unbeatable quality yet they lost to West Germany in the final, an arguably inferior team. From a soccer sports psychology point of view, the 1974 World Cup final demonstrates perfectly that at top level, superior physical skill alone is not enough realizing a top performance also requires mental skill.

Are you getting bored and yearning for some human company in your house Well, all that you have to do is switch on the TV and invite your neighbor. Done. Just see how the atmosphere in the house is charged with electricity with all the screaming and shouting that is bound to happen! Just watching National Football League and United States Football League tackling the football is sure to raise the adrenalin.
Football is a game you can enjoy the most when you are in the company of others. It is not meant for lonely hearts. The heart throbbing of that winning goal, the nail biting dodging of the ball, the cursing and swearing that goes with the game is not for the weak hearted. If you happen to suffer from hypertension, trust me this game is not for you.
