Falkirk players will hear very little from boss Steven Pressley on Sunday ahead of their Scottish Communities League Cup semi-final against Celtic at Hampden.
Pressley's youthful squad have already taken care of Rangers and Dundee United and sit second in the Irn-Bru First Division, but many of them will be making their first appearance at the national stadium.
However, the former Scotland defender will have most of his work done before the Bairns' bus reaches Glasgow.
"On a matchday I say very little to the players," he said.
"All the preparation is done during the week and I trust them. I trust them in the manner they play and I trust them in their preparation.
"I like players to prepare in the manner they need to in order to get themselves focused.
"So there will be probably very little said on the day of the game.
"They can relax, they can enjoy it, build themselves up in whatever way they want and I believe they will be ready."
While Pressley's side are vastly inexperienced in comparison to the Clydesdale Bank Premier League leaders, he does not believe that will necessarily disadvantage his players.
"People say you are lacking experience but sometimes experience is not positive," said the former Rangers, Celtic and Hearts defender.
"There are many experienced players that have done nothing but suffer defeat in semi-finals so their experience is negative.
"These young players have never had that disappointment of defeat in semi-finals so there will be no fear in their performance.
"I really do trust these players, as I said.
"There is a great excitement among the group of players, a genuine feeling that we can cause an upset if we get all aspects of the game right."
Regardless of the outcome on Sunday, Pressley insists that Falkirk fans can have confidence in the club's future.
"There are a lot of people in the background who have worked very hard," he said.
"People sometimes say that we are lucky to have these players.
"We are not lucky. It has been part of a plan for seven years.
"It has been hard work by many people in the background, setting up the academy, recruiting and developing these young players so it is not luck. "It has been a strategic plan and now it is beginning to deliver.
"And I think everyone connected to this club should be excited about the future."
