Confidence is a Choice

January 7, 2011 By Patrick Cohn

You always have choices to make prior to any competition. Confident athletes choose to focus their thoughts on things that help them feel confident. Great athletes enter competition thinking about why they deserve to win and they feel confident. The belief in their skill, work ethic in practice and the ability to prepare mentally and physically for competition gives them the confident edge.

Other athletes choose to focus on doubt and ready-made excuses in case they fail. You can choose what to think about prior to any event. You can choose to think about how good the opposing team is or choose to focus on why your team is superior. You always have two choices: the choice to focus on failure or the choice to focus on success.

Boost your confidence fast with The Confident Athlete CD program.
