A big mistake I witness in a lot of athletes training is that they spend too much time and energy focusing on their weaknesses instead of building their strengths.
Confidence is gained from feeling good about what you are good at.
Especially before competition I see so many coaches spending 80% of the time working on the players weaknesses instead of their strengths.
What can happen here is that the athlete loses ALL confidence as their focus has become fixed on their weakness.
Now don’t misunderstand me, as I’m not saying you shouldn’t work on weaknesses, what I am saying is: Spend most of the time building and bettering the strengths.
In fact coaches, here’s a little inside tip: Your last practice before your athlete competes, go out and only focus on their strengths. Don’t ‘coach’ or talk about it, just let them do what they love, what makes them POWERFUL.
Spend time working on what makes you a better athlete. That is your key to getting the BEST out of yourself.
