Live Life With No Regrets!Self Confidence vs. Arrogance
Self-Confident talk is "I want, I can" rather than "I must, I should, I shall".
There is a difference between "hating to lose" and "daring to lose". Good sportsmen have both.

SELF-CONFIDENCE consists of three parts:
|
COCKINESS is often a defence mechanism for people with poor self-confidence. For instance, to be able to reveal that we are insecure often requires a good deal of self-confidence. |
| SELF-CENTREDNESS means that we believe that the world revolves around us. Also a sign of poor self-confidence. | |
| CONCEIT is shown by people who not only accept themselves uncritically, but also overestimate their own worth. They only see their good side, and never the bad. | |
| Paradoxically, revealing we are insecure ourselves shows a good deal of self-confidence | ARROGANCE is used by people who have to push others down in order to raise themselves up. |
Creating self-confidence, separate the person from the performance. Self-confidence is actually being able to have control over oneself and one's performance. Our performance is always going to vary--nobody can always be at the top.
Self-Confidence is intimately connected with motivation.
Motivation has several building blocks:
- Trust as the foundation.
- The 'we' feeling.
- Variation in training.
- Everyone's views must be valued.
- Openness and clear information.
- Encouragement.
- More play.
Use model training, simulate the conditions in which you will train, including the sounds of the stadium, etc.
- Self-Confidence is the most important psychological factor in your performance.
- Self-Confidence is dependent on your basic personality, various situations, and other people.
- Self-Confidence is governed by security, which is dependent on your social-environment--especially in adversity.
- Adversity can be utilized for positive training.
- Self-confidence is positive, while conceit is negative.
- Enjoyment is a factor in performance.
- Seriousness is a different thing to solemnity.
- Self-confidence can be actively worked on.
- "Whoever is not crazed by success will neither be broken by adversity."
