As a coach, you must commit to working on confidence as much as helping your players improve their skills or learn a new technique. Most importantly, you want your players to have stable, enduring confidence when challenged by doubt, negative thinking, or lack of immediate success.
When your athletes perform with confidence, they’ll cope with mistakes easier and adjust to adversity faster. When your athletes are confident, they are less like to feel anxious or afraid. Remember, confidence influences everything your athletes do; how your athletes behave, think, react, and perform each day.
