Self-Confidence in Sports Defined

March 19, 2011 By Patrick Cohn

The definition of self-confidence is how firmly you believe in your ability to execute a physical skill or perform a task. That’s right, confidence is how much YOU believe in YOUR ability. Confidence is derived from a baseline assessment of past performances, training, and preparation. As your competency or mastery grows, your confidence becomes proportionately stronger.

You can also derive confidence from the belief that you are physically talented. Successful training and quality practice both help to create a strong sense of self-confidence. Confidence also comes from the people around you and your sports equipment. In sports, such as auto racing, the performance of the car can either improve or detract from the racers level of confidence.

Boost your confidence fast with The Confidence Athlete CD program.
