Sport psychology and cognitive skill development has been discussed as the last untapped or limited applied area of sporting development & understanding. Applied research & studies in this performance area have largely included individual psychological factors and their influence on performance encompassing confidence, motivation and attention to name but a few!
For some sporting individuals, coaches and management or performance staff the concept of self-confidence is not as important as it is for others as they know what it is, how much is needed and how to deal with situations.
However, self-confidence is so palpable in some players, staff or athletes you can almost reach out and touch it. Their confidence is reflected in everything they say and do, in what they wear and how they look.
According to literature in this area, performance success & accomplishment is known to be the strongest contributor to sport confidence, progression and development.
When you perform any skill or task successfully, individuals generate and gain more confidence, and in general, will be willing to attempt something slightly more difficult or challenging.
Personal success breeds confidence, while repeated personal failure diminishes it.
How as a coach or individual involved with the development of athletes or players can you provide an environment to succeed and gain confidence from a sport-specific context?
Here at ISSPF, we aim to give you the tools to progress yourself and your athletes, players or teams.
Self-confidence is described as being at its highest when you believe in your own ability and feel that you have properly prepared for a competition.
Motivation is the foundation of all athletic efforts and accomplishments. To become the best athlete you can be, you must be motivated to do what it takes to maximize your ability and achieve your goals.
Motivation, simply defined, is the ability to initiate and persist at a task. From a coaching perspective ask yourself;
