𝙊𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 was Where It All Began
My journey started with playing baseball as a little kid. It was great training that helped pave my way into other sports where I easily made my middle school softball, basketball, and volleyball teams. But when I entered high school, everyone seemed much bigger and more talented, and my confidence quickly shrank. In my senior year, I finally mustered up the courage to try out for basketball. I made the team and was relieved to be back on track. But when my team made it to the championship finals, I couldn't play confidently enough to help my team win, and my coach kept me on the sidelines after only playing the first five minutes of the game.
The Psychology of Confidence
Being sidelined was a wake-up call. That's when I decided to learn how confidence 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 works, and my journey continued while studying psychology at UCLA. When it comes to naturally talented skills -- in anything, not just sports -- what I found was that they can only take you so far, but they still need to be nurtured like any other skill you learn. When applying the right habits that strengthen your skills and practicing them over and over again, your confidence naturally builds not only with those skills, but also in how you approach life every day. Confidence is about psychology. And when you're in the right mindset, life becomes easier and flows much smoother.
