National football coach Rob Sherman has emphasized the importance of mental fitness before major tournaments following the Digicel Fiji FACT. He believes that management has a plan to ensure that all players are mentally prepared to perform their best.
Sherman also notes that players may feel overwhelmed and nervous sometimes, but the team is committed to easing nervousness and eliminating factors that might hinder performances.
The team shares a strong and positive bond with its overseas players, who serve as a source of motivation for each other. The team is all set to face PNG in its opening OFC Nations Cup pool match on Sunday at 4 p.m. at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
