Keeping focus in the last 15 minutes
Play until the final whistle without losing your focus, with advice from former Manchester United and England psychologist Bill Beswick
Say all you like about 'Fergie Time', but it's neither coincidence nor conspiracy that Manchester United score so often in the dying stages of a match.
The reason is simple: unlike many other teams, the Red Devils never switch off before the final whistle.
So what can you do to be the team who scores goals late on, rather than concedes them? Former Manchester United and England psychologist Bill Beswick talks you through having the right mindset during those last 15 minutes of a game.
Keep your focus and keep on playing until the job is done.
