A smart way to handle anxiety — courtesy of soccer great Lionel Messi
Jun 22, 2023 / Adam Alter PhD

What separates the very best in the world from the remaining 7 billion of us?

Exceptional talent often looks like an act of revolution — a person doing something in a way no one has ever done it before — but many revolutionary talents are actually built on a foundation of evolutionary tweaks. These tweaks develop over time, often compensating for weaknesses and anxieties that might derail a lesser talent.

Take the world’s best soccer player, an Argentinean named Lionel Messi. Messi has won more Ballon d’Or trophies, awarded to the best soccer player of the year, than any other player. He has scored more goals in a calendar year than any other living player, is the top all-time scorer in Spain’s La Liga, and has the highest goal ratio in the sport today, scoring almost once every match.

For all his brilliance, though, he’s famously anxious. For several years, Messi habitually vomited on the field before big matches. After a string of disappointing national-team losses, another former Argentinean giant of the game, the late Diego Maradona, uncharitably criticized Messi by suggesting that it was “useless trying to make a leader out of a man who goes to the toilet twenty times before a game.:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

Being incredibly talented doesn’t immunize you against anxiety, and many of the world’s best grapple with anxiety precisely because they expect so much from themselves. But Messi hasn’t allowed his anxiety to diminish his brilliance because he’s mastered a coping mechanism that also doubles as the secret behind his tactical brilliance.

A soccer match runs for 90 minutes (plus a few minutes for “injury time”), and most players are active in the game from the first minute. As soon as the whistle blows, they implore their teammates to pass the ball and pursue the tactics their coaches laid out before the game.

But Messi is famous for not playing the game during its opening minutes. This is his evolutionary tweak, which developed as he played the game at progressively higher levels. For the opening minutes, Messi ambles back and forth near the middle of the field and almost never engages with his teammates. Whereas other players run and sometimes sprint, Messi spends much of his time walking, rarely breaking into more than a slow jog.. [I have always said that when the going gets tough, the Messi strolls about and disappears from a game.] :lol: :lol: :lol:

Messi does two things during these first few minutes. First, he calms himself. Easing into the game is Messi’s way of ensuring he’s fully engaged for the remainder of the game. His on-field vomiting has resolved itself, in part perhaps because he’s found a more effective way to calm his nerves. Second, he spends this time scoping out the opposition. His legs move slowly, but his eyes dart from player to player, assessing his opponents’ strengths, weaknesses, and tactics, and monitoring his own team’s movement with and around the ball. Messi is less valuable to his team early in the game, but this tactical pause elevates his value for the remaining 95 percent of the game.

If you split soccer game play into “preparatory” and “engaged” components, Messi leans heavily on preparation. During one classic game between Messi’s Barcelona and archrivals Real Madrid, in 2017, Messi ran for just four minutes and walked for more than eighty of the game’s ninety minutes. When he was engaged, though, he was dynamic, creating nine chances, scoring one goal, and feeding the ball to a teammate who scored another goal.

That pattern isn’t unusual for Messi, and it’s often in the biggest games that he accentuates his in-game preparation. That preparation also explains his ability to find himself in the right place at the right time, over and over. Though his positional play appears otherworldly, it isn’t a miracle; it’s that he’s learned, minute by minute, that a particular defender leaves a particular square of pitch uncovered or that two midfielders leave a small corner of the pitch open when they gravitate to the middle of the field.
For the rest of this ojoro article that uses Messi to hook you in, go to the site. Useless fake GOAT that relied on wuruwuru FIFA penarities to win World Cup. :mad: :biggrin: :biggrin: This article is not a surprise. He always behaved like a frightened little school girl when he was not surrounded by his great Barca helpers and had to win something big. :biggrin:

:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: Dude is a certified wimp! Someone who left Barca for money and then conned the Barca fans to believe he was pushed out. Then when he was leaving PSG, he pretended he was going back to Barca, when he never was. He then held a press conference to conned the barca fans again. :rotf: :rotf: Dude is such an embarrassing m0r0n. What was the point? weeping like a lying baby, when the truth came out that he pushed for the deal because of money? Why do you then go and start crying at press conferences? Why do you go and give a press conference to Barca when you are leaving PSG? :lol: :lol: wimp!

Dude seem like a great human being and the greatest player of his generation. Rarely involved in any controversy, a solid family man.

Being nervous before a game isn’t a hallmark of a wimp.

…And if you offer a service no one in your generation can match, you deserve to charge however amount you wish. :biggrin:

Mr. Messi, please ask Barca for More after collecting a fractions of a billion from Miami.

Recall the valorous and valiant Selecao belting out El Hino Nacional Brasiliero with intrepid octaves and gallant tenors sans hyperperistalsis. Full time? One of history’s most complete floggings since Ancient Rome cornered a couple of Christians in Caesar’s square.

The ends justifies the means.

They were joined by the whole Maracana in belting out that anthem. The decibel level was ear shattering. They were hoping to scare Ze Chermans, not realizing that the Jerries had ice cold Beck’s lager beer 🍺 in their veins. The 750 hp Messerschmitt engine was barely put through a 2 stroke cycle that day. Maschinen betriebseinleitung! Halt den Mund zu! Mach schnell!!

Wha choo looking at?!

Chief, if the supposed leader sh1ts 20 times (according to a true GOAT contender :D , no be me talk am :lol: ) before a crucial game, AND THEN, fails to lead or "take the game by scruff of the neck" (unlike Mbappe, a true great :thumbs: ) when it counts, and just strolls about during a World Cup Final doing absolutely nothing (Brazil 2014), then he is a TOTAL wimp. Further, if the supposed GOAT only wins a World Cup when he is 35, unlike other GOAT contenders who won it much earlier, AND only won it against a severely depleted French team that almost won it, while the wimp only relied on dashed penarities, then he is a TOTAL wimp squared. :biggrin: :taunt:

Messi is celebrated for scoring that goal against United in Rome forgetting that Eto'o is the one who freed that team. Prior to that Messi was sleeping.
