You're behind in the match, the frustration is rising, and now it's wrecking the play you have left. This explains what that frustration is doing to your game and reframes the losing position so you can finish well instead of tilting. For the moment you're three goals down and one bad call away from throwing the controller.

**Reframe the losing experience**

3. Offer a mental reframe: one way to interpret the situation that makes continuing to play feel worthwhile even if the scoreline does not change.
4. Suggest one small tactical or strategic shift they can try in the next few minutes, regardless of the game, to feel more in control of their own performance.
