Confidence:
Mental Strategies to Think Like a Champion



           Protex Sports Flash Seminar
     “A motto and philosophy I have really stressed is [SIC]:
   you’ve got to believe in yourself. Self confidence is without a
                  doubt the first step to success”.
             ~ Tommy Lasorda, Baseball Manager, Hall of Fame




                                                                 John Ellsworth, MA
                                                                      Protex Sports
                                                               www.protexsports.com
Two Types of Confidence

 The general belief in your ability as an athlete
      Example: I am a solid tennis player and capable of competing at the
       next level.


 A specific belief in your ability to perform a task
      Example: My cross court backhand is very one of my strongest
       weapons.

            “Our attitudes, belief systems, and thoughts create our reality”
                                                                   Gary Mack – Mind Gym
What is Confidence?


        When confidence is present:
…you believe, and trust in your ability to execute a
           physical skill or perform a task.

    “Don’t let what you can’t do interfere with what you can do.”
                                                           - John Wooden
Critical Success Factors to a
    Confidence Foundation


               -Past Experience
-How would you describe your past experiences
             with your sport?
                 -Prior Success
-Can you identify periods of previous success?
     -Write down on paper the 5 most recent success events
Three Sources of Confidence

Athletes Acquire Confidence from:
       • Practice
       • From immediate past performance
       • What others say about our performance
                Which of these three pertains to you?

 Consistency is what counts. You have to do things over and over again.
                                                              - Hank Aaron
Six Steps to Improve Self Confidence

 -   Know what confidence is and what it is not.
 -   Know where it comes from and how you lose it.
 -   Know what is & what is not in your control.
 -   Be aware of doubts that sabotage confidence.
 -   Develop a “game plan” to counteract “doubt.”
 -   Introduce mental strategies to boost confidence
       and eliminate doubt.
Taking Control of Confidence
                   What Confidence is not!



• Confidence is not…
      Doubt, Indecision, or Hesitation
• Confidence is…
      Person-specific and Task-specific
      If there is doubt in your mind…how can your muscles know what
                            they are expected to do?
                                                                - Harvey Penick
Enemies of Confidence
                    What Confidence is Not!!



Four Categories of Self Limiting Beliefs
        1. Doubt
        2. Irrational or Unrealistic beliefs
        3. Demands – Expectations - Perfectionism
        4. Negative Self-Labels

  Beliefs drive behaviors and self-limiting beliefs lead to self-defeating
             behaviors. Believe in yourself and your abilities.
Five Elements to Build Strong Confidence


 1.   Recall the success you had in past similar situations.
 2.   Bring successful past strategies forward.
 3.   Recognize what else the current situation may require.
 4.   Focus positively on the required and desirable actions.
 5.   Trust in your physical and mental preparation.
Summary

  - Trust in Self Comes From Confidence & Momentum
             - Refute, Rebut, & Reframe Doubt
                     - No Expectations
   - Set Achievable, Manageable, and Measurable Mini
                  Performance Objectives
          - Believe You Can Succeed & You Will

Three Phases of Confidence
              Development


Focusing on strengths & maintain confident thoughts –
                  when challenged!

Ability to identify roadblocks that hold back confidence.

  Incorporate Mental Game Tools to build confidence
What Makes the Confidence Flourish?

 • Inventory your “recent” success in practice &
        competition.
 • Make positive “affirmation” statements to yourself
 • Expect Nothing, but prepare for Everything!
 • Set Manageable, Achievable, and Measurable
        Mini goals or Performance Objectives

 The whole idea is to get an edge. Sometimes it takes just a little extra something to get that
                                edge, but you have to have it.
                                                                                     Ty Cobb
Six Levels of Confidence??

1. I hope I can hit this shot…
2. Maybe I can hit this shot…
3. I think I can hit this shot…
4. I believe I can hit this shot…
5. I know I can hit this shot…
6. I will hit this shot…
