Signs That You Lack Confidence in Basketball❌

Confident players are always steady. They're never too high on themselves, and they're never too low. When the situations are bad, they know that they're not perfect, but they believe that they can always improve. An arrogant player is emotionally inconsistent, so they get really, really high when things are great. And then as soon as something goes against them, they get really, really low or they lash out. Now, a confident player takes nothing that a coach says personally. They understand that from a coach's perspective, it's all about winning. Their criticism of you, their coaching of you, is not an attack on your ego. It's. It's simply about pushing the team closer to winning, which is ultimately what everybody's goal should be. An arrogant player sees coaching and sees criticism as a threat. They believe that their coach is hating on them or belittling them or doubting their abilities. And they refuse to admit mistakes when they're wrong because they view admitting mistakes as admitting that they're not good enough or that they're weak. In reality, arrogance is the most obvious form of a lack of true confidence. Here's four quick things you can do to make sure that you're a confident player, not an arrogant player. Number one is you need to believe that no matter how good you are, how, how well you're playing, you can be better. Number two, always focus on the team's success and not your own. When the team success at the forefront of everything you think about, your ego is going to be in check and you're going to be able to take coaching, take criticism, and respond in a way that a confident player would. Number three, believe that mistakes are the biggest part of growing and getting better. And mistakes are not a bad thing. Getting called out on a mistake is not a bad thing. It's the best way for you to grow and get better. Going back to point number one and number four, believe that success is earned. Nobody owes you anything. Your coach owes you nothing. Your teammates owe you nothing. You need to go out and earn all those things. When you have those four beliefs, you're going to handle yourself as a confident player, which is going to lead to you having great relationships with your coaches and just overall more success on the course.
