Week 4

self belief 

Hi performer M, hope you are well and making the most of the Easter break. 

Today we are going to continue with your 3rd week training programme. We are going to focus on improving your self belief for this week. 

The reason for this is because from the performance profile this is a factor which you scored low in. 

Self belief is when you have trust in your positive characteristics.

These characteristics for you should be confidence, motivation and optimism etc. 

Other than character as you compete if football you need to have self belief. The belief needs to consist of your ability in the sport, the physical constructs which are used. 

It is crucial for you to have high self belief, this is because your performance levels will increase. 

This is because when you are competing even when the probability of you completing a skill is low you will still have a go at performing it. 

The aim for this week is therefore to improve your self belief. Self belief is an energy which is deep inside you, once you have this hard tasks are lessened. 

How to improve your self belief is by accomplishing certain skills within your performance.  This is because the skill will work as a catalyst for further enhancing your confidence to engage within your performance. 

To begin with what you can do is in training and match days you should try attempting skills you have less belief you can execute. The gradual incline of increasing skill difficulty will allow you attempt more difficult tasks. The steps you take to achieve this should be organised from each success. 

Therefore do not go from one low level skill to a high level skill straight away.  You should organise yourself so that you feel comfortable registering each skill consecutively.  This will allow you to master each step before the next step is continued. You as a performer should then be able to master each skill and then progress onto another. Your personal success will then allow you to create further confidence, and your failure will start to evaporate.
