Online Conference – Mental Training and Emotional Regulation in Football
A free online conference will be held on June 4, 2025, focusing on mental training in football, sport psychology, and more specifically on emotional regulation during matches.
High-level football requires constant emotional regulation: pressure, stress, mistakes, rapid decisions, and interactions with teammates and staff. While players already possess many internal resources, the ability to manage, channel, and use emotions effectively is a key factor in performance.
This conference aims to provide practical insights from mental training and mental coaching, directly applicable on the field.
Program:
- Understanding the central role of emotional regulation in football
- Learning how to regulate emotions during training and matches
- Developing strategies to use stress positively
- Regulation techniques: switch, zapping, attentional refocusing
- Improving concentration and mental stability
- Using mental imagery to enhance performance
- Building a mental training program for players or teams
- Implications for coaches in managing players and performance
Speaker:
The conference will be led by Manuel Dupuis, sport psychologist since 2003, specialized in mental training and mental coaching.
He has worked with professional clubs, including Sporting Charleroi and Union Saint-Gilloise, and has been involved in coach education programs (UEFA A). He has been supporting professional football players for many years, mainly through individual work, in Belgium, France, and Germany.
His approach is based on field experience and tools from sport psychology, with a strong focus on emotional regulation in performance.
