Social Approval and Making Comparisons

April 3, 2011 By Patrick Cohn

Athletes who seek social approval (or worry about what others think) tend to compare themselves to other players or let what others say and do affect their confidence. It is important for you to focus on your game and not worry about others.

Focus on what you are doing well and not what others may or may not think about your performance. Your confidence comes from years of practice and play, not one event. Appreciate your own talents instead of worrying about what you are missing.
