Get Self-Confidence – Keep Sports Confidence

Are you on the self-confidence roller coaster in sports? Many athletes allow their confidence to be thrashed around by immediate results and circumstances.

What do I mean by the confidence roller coaster? I am talking about the athlete who loses confidence easily or has fragile confidence based on his immediate results. With each shot, play, or point, his confidence goes up and down depending on his performance.

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.

The most confident athletes in the world, such as Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, and Michelle Akers, have gained confidence from their practice and positive results, but they also stay confident even after a defeat or poor play.

Anyone can get an immediate boost of confidence from a good performance, but can you keep confidence even after poor results?

If you want to learn how to get confidence AND keep it, I suggest that you pop on over to peaksports.com and grab a copy of The Confident Athlete
