Reset after the last play.
Reset After the Last Play.
A short routine for returning attention to the next useful action.
Legacy North editorial draft · October 2026
Name What Happened, Briefly
A missed shot is an event, not a description of who you are. Say what happened in plain words—“That pass was late”—without building a story about being a bad player.
Choose a Physical Cue
Take a comfortable breath, release your shoulders or bring your eyes back to the court. Pick a cue you can use while staying aware of play. You do not need to force calm or pretend you are not frustrated.
Give the Next Play a Job
Choose one action: find your player, communicate on defence, create a passing angle or sprint back. Practice the routine during ordinary sessions so it is familiar when the game feels harder. If distress keeps affecting life beyond sport, talk with a trusted adult or qualified professional.
