Building Confidence through Preparation
Confidence in competition doesn't come from believing you will win, but from knowing that you've done everything you can to prepare. The key is to separate belief from knowing. Having realistic expectations, understanding that you've trained with high-level partners, and implementing a well-designed training camp can boost your confidence. Being aware of the potential obstacles and disadvantages, but also knowing that you've explored various positions and scenarios in training, can help you feel more prepared and comfortable when facing tougher opponents.
