We all know self belief and confidence is important and a major factor in the type of life we create and what we can achieve. On the sports field, the way you feel about yourself and your abilities can hugely influence your performance. Lack on self-belief and little confidence in your ability to perform/ execute certain skills will often lead an athlete to “play it safe” instead of stepping outside of their comfort zone and taking certain risks.
Taking these risks often sets the great athletes apart from the average athletes as they are willing to step out of their comfort zone and risk making a mistake. These risks do not always pay off, but sometimes they are all the difference between a win and a defeat.
Confidence plays a huge role on the sports field and any athlete knows that sport is a huge mental game, as well as physical. It is impossible to achieve your goals and reach peak performance if you have little belief in your ability to do so.
Self-Confidence is a nice feeling and most of us would want more of it if we could.
Like all of our emotional reactions, confidence starts in the subconscious mind and bubbles or explodes into our consciousness depending on the situation we are in.
This all starts with your core beliefs deep in your subconscious mind.
Below are the 7 most powerful core beliefs to increase your confidence.
