Build confidence from real evidence
A free sports confidence exercise: recognise something you did well, connect it to preparation and choose what to repeat.
How to use this practice
- Recall a small, real example. It need not be a winning performance.
- Describe your action rather than giving yourself a label.
- Turn that evidence into something repeatable. Confidence does not require certainty about the result.
Use this as a prompt for your own learning in cricket, football or another sport. There is no score or diagnosis. Skip anything that does not help and discuss technical or training decisions with your coach. Your answers are optional and are not sent to us.
