Athletes Who Have Fragile Confidence
Do you ever wonder why self-confidence is so fragile or fleeting for some athletes, actually many athletes?
This week and beyond I answer this question in my new video series…
Today we’re introducing a new mental training video series on the top 10 confidence busters for athletes.
Here they are:
- Having strict expectations.
- Having self-doubt.
- Poor preparation or lack of a game plan.
- Making comparisons to other athletes.
- Worrying about what others think or “mind-reading.”
- Perfectionism or the need to be perfect.
- Lack of trust in your skills in competition.
- Focusing on mistakes or mishaps.
- Having a poor pregame warm-up.
- 10. Being overly critical post-performance.
In each episode, you learn about one of the top 10 confidence busters and the problem with each. You’ll also learn about how to overcome each confidence buster.
Start by checking out today’s video about why confidence is so fragile for athletes.

The Confident Athlete
“The Confident Athlete” consists of 2 audio programs that include 14 days of confidence fueling exercises and a simple to follow workbook that guides you through the 14 days, helps you apply the strategies, and customizes the exercises to your personal needs.
Let me help you put a stop to the confidence leak. You can learn to have greater levels of confidence in competition than you do in practice by identifying the specific ways you undermine your own confidence and how to convert your practice confidence into COMPETITIVE CONFIDENCE.
“The Confident Athlete” is a ground-breaking system to teach you how to think like a champion and have ultimate self-confidence every time you step on the playing field, court, track, or course. The confident athletes was developed for any athlete – junior to professional –that wants to gain confidence. However, coaches and sports parents can learn how to teach others to perform with ultimate confidence. Use my program if you want to bust a slump or just wanting higher or more consistent levels of self-confidence.
