Pre-Match Team Talk and Visualisation

Players sit together. Coach delivers a short pre-match-style team talk: remind them what they've built this week, name specific contributions from individuals, set one collective intention for tomorrow. Finish with a captain's word.

• Everything we've done this week was for a reason — tomorrow is the reason
• Trust each other: you've earned that right over five days
• We go again — and we're ready

• Captain leads the huddle close — coach steps back
• Each player says one word that describes how they are going into tomorrow
