- 1Body first: shower, drink, eat. Your mind won't work without it.
- 2A definite end point: pack your bag, put your handball shoes in, zip it up. Game over.
- 3Phone away for 30 minutes – no highlights, no chats, no league table.
- 4Write down two things: what went well, and what you'll do differently next time.
- 5Do something that has nothing to do with handball – for at least 30 minutes.
When to use
Right after games, especially after a loss or late throw-off.
What's in it for you
