“I can work myself up through
overthinking which can then cause
panic and a worse shoot than if
you can remain calm”
I was lucky enough to goto
Finland for a game when they
were going to qualify for the
Euro Championships and they
wouldn’t let me in till 90 minutes
before kick off.
Was bad as i got to the ground
around 4 hours early so i think I
did 20 laps of the stadium that
night.
Going back to prep you need to
check what the preview stories
have been while also checking
teamsheets for any changes or
new names.
Then its just about looking for
the action looking for people
pointing, emoting again as you do
this more you don’t think about it
you just do it instinctively.
I can work myself up through
overthinking which can then
cause panic and a worse shoot
than if you remain calm.
I find if I can avoid that then
everything flows naturally of
course you again can get a feel
on if you’re having a good shoot
or not but sometimes nothings
happening and then the story
unfurls right in front of you and
its about being the hero in that
moment and getting the shots.
It is tougher than just being
paid to watch football which I
think is what people assume we
do.
