Soccer is not only decided in 90 minutes, but often in the mind. Pressure, mistakes, expectations and public attention present players with mental challenges on a daily basis. Mental strength is therefore a decisive factor for success, not only on the pitch but also off it. Oliver Baumann, an active soccer player, and Matthias Hagner, a former player and coach and now a sports psychologist, discuss how professionals deal with these challenges and why the mental aspect is indispensable in soccer.
