Confidence is a Mindset

January 9, 2011 By Patrick Cohn

What is self-confidence? Confidence is a belief in the strength of your ability to perform a task. It’s a mindset that says, “I can do this.” Confidence is not the same as self-esteem. Self-esteem is based on your assessment or appraisal of your person. The opposite of confidence is doubt, indecision, and negative thoughts.

When you are doubting your ability to perform well, you are not confident. Sometimes you can’t control the outcome of a competition, but you can control how you think and behave during the competition. And this includes taking control of your confidence level and being proactive with your confidence. Being proactive with your confidence means that you don’t wait for it to come to you.

Boost your confidence fast with The Confident Athlete CD program.
