Building Confidence

Building confidence is essential for athletes and people in general. Confidence is a skill that can be developed through various factors, such as experiences, stepping out of comfort zones, and receiving positive feedback from others. It is important to recognize what you can control and what you can't control, focusing on controllable factors like self-perception and goal-setting. Practices like relaxation, imagery, self-talk, and goal-setting can improve confidence by reducing anxiety. Confidence fluctuates and varies across different areas of life, so it's important to enter a beginner's mindset and accept that building confidence takes time.
