Self-Confidence Roller Coaster

December 24, 2010 By Patrick Cohn

Are you on the self-confidence roller coaster? Many athletes allow their confidence to be thrashed around by immediate results and circumstances. What do I mean by the confidence roller coaster? Athletes with fragile confidence lose it when they hit a bad shot, fail to make a play, or lose a point.

But fragile self-confidence or letting results or circumstances dictate how confident you feel in the present moment IS NOT true confidence. Real self-confidence is stable, long-term, and lasting even under adversity or poor results. Confident athletes gain confidence from their practice and positive results, but they also stay confident even after a defeat or poor play.

Boost your confidence fast with The Confident Athlete CD program.
