for me mindset helps alot other than practice. before going on the court,i'll set my mind first. depends on the situation whether i'll play for fun or to develop my skills etc. sometimes fancying myself as a pro helps but just have to make sure i dont overdo it.

yeah i agree stamina also counts.i remember my coach said,if u have enough stamina,u can do anything on the field.

i just had probably the worst futsal session of my life..played with some new guys.hardly had any communication on the pitch, miss pass almost everytime etc etc and ended up having stomach cramp.

U can follow him and close down the gap. put some effort in that so he'll have hard time to dribble/pass. well, sometimes u can just commit a tackle or what i call 'paruk'. these kind of players know that there's price to pay with their fancy skills. give em some rough treatment.
