It was my 7th year in Major League Soccer.

We weren’t great as a team, performance wise or culturally. And personally, I had fallen out with the coaching staff. It was my most trying year as a professional soccer player.

This is all part of what inspired me to create Soccer Resilience and the reason why I’m writing this today.

Here’s what I wrote…

“What frustrates me is my inability to consistently ‘stay out of my head,’ to play FREE and instinctively. My tendency is to try and play not to make a mistake – which is absolutely the worst way to play.

 

What happened to that fearless Wells who just gave it his all, enjoyed the game, and didn’t care whether he made a mistake or not? I miss that guy a lot out on the field! I can’t stand the way I play sometimes, and the most frustrating part is that I know I am capable of so much more. This is something that I have struggled with for years and just can’t seem to get over.

 

(Here’s the kicker) I have been thinking a lot about seeing a sports psychologist while I am home and KNOW that is something that I should commit to and do!”

Have you seen our Online Academy, SOCCER RESILIENCE FC?

For as little as $10 per month, you can get access to a massive resource filled with practical and tangible exercises, as well as videos and inspiration from current pros in the NWSL, MLS, and USL.

Don’t leave it to chance! And don’t waste time now not doing something you know you need to do – otherwise you’ll end up regretting it – just like me!

This is the biggest regret of my career. BUT, you don’t have to make the same mistake!

Train your brain, Transform your game… AND life!
