The important thing to do when you make a mistake is quickly make a note for later so you can avoid that error in the future, and stay focused on what you need to do the rest of the game. There are a lot of problems with that, but the main one is that you hurt your team as much as you hurt yourself. It is not uncommon to see a player make a mistake early in a game and allow that mistake to ruin his or her performance for the rest of the contest. It is just a matter of knowing how to do it. Like everything else in the game of soccer, you have to work hard to be a composed player, but absolutely anyone can do it. Everyone who steps on a soccer field should aim to be a composed and confident player because it is an essential part of the winner's mentality.
