Try to concentrate just on your tasks, go into a game with positive attitude and do not think you may not get into trouble, because then you will get in to it fore sure! Set goals for each game to work and make then realistic, like making 20 tackles, getting 4 turnover balls concentrate on passing... Get your focus off getting in to trouble dude!
