Living in NYC with its culture can affect one’s confidence. The brutality of other players toward some/specific players is so inappropriate! Supportive culture in a club , group, or team impacts confidence greatly. Leaders could help with these issues but don’t, at least not in nyc, it’s a judgemental bunch
This is so true and I’m guilty of this all the time! I’ve a tournament coming up and have been too busy to prepare properly, but I’m going to at least let go of my weaknesses and try to focus on easier things to control like movement and positioning. The more relaxed I am the better I play. Thats just fact.
Developing the skills AND trusting it when it matters most are both important. The question becomes how can you have confidence to trust the shot or shots when it's crunch time? This goes much deeper than self-talk, visualization, and breath control. Those things can help, but not provide you all you need to be successful. Explore what it means for YOU to have psychological freedom and psychological courage when you need it most. And this is just a start. Ben Loeb; https://benloebcoaching.com
