Question To have to play out of someone's skins

Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could help by explaining this phrasal which might have something to do with sports, but unfortunately I haven't been able so far to find any meaning of it.
"to have to play out of someone's skins".
Thanks in advance.

To play as well as possible, and probably better than ever.
"You will be playing against Ronaldinho next saturday, so you'll have to play out of your skin."
