  • Hydrate properly – fluids all day
  • Limit coffee: 1-2 max, none after 12pm
  • Recover smart – no shortcuts

• Show up ready to affect the game positively

• Demonstrate your best every minute

• Impact the match – that’s what gets contracts

Football Trials Contract Signing Tips

First contract = foot in the door (not about money). Get the yes on paper – second contract is when money talks. Focus on opportunity, not pay cheque.

Off-pitch habits + elite performance = signed contract.
