Control the Controllables

In futsal – and in life – progress starts by focusing on what you can control.

You can’t change the past. You can’t control results, referees’ decisions, mistakes, injuries, or what others choose to do. Spending energy on these things only distracts you from what truly moves you forward.

What you can control is far more powerful.

• You can control turning up on time.
• You can control how often you’re in contact with a ball.
• You can control your effort in training and matches.
• You can control your attitude when things are going well – and when they aren’t.
• You can control how you respond to setbacks, errors, and challenges.
• You can control what you put into your body.
• You can control your sleep.

The future isn’t shaped by excuses or frustration. It’s shaped by daily habits, consistency, and mindset. Every new day is an opportunity to improve. Every mistake is feedback. Every challenge is a chance to grow.

Focus on the controllables, commit to the process, and the results will take care of themselves.

At Futsal Escocia, we believe that small, consistent actions done well – every day – create big outcomes over time.
