There's one thing that every player's game revolves around: confidence. It's the difference between having a bank account full of money that you can't access versus having one that you can open as you please, so this poses the question. Why do players struggle with confidence? There are three answers you can find, and it's very easy to narrow it down. One, you're just not good enough. You're at a tryout, on a team, at a showcase, and you see the other players dominate or outshine you, and maybe you have the skillset to showcase your own superiority, or you don't. Why is this the case? Why do I say this? It's very simple. Every player in every competitive sport is playing to outperform their competitor. If you internally know that you aren't good enough, it because it's true! A AAA player will never let a A level hockey player outwork, outplay, or control their game. It's pride, purpose, and humility. It's a sign of respect to the opponent. A sign that you are better, you know you're better, and it's the strong foundation that lays out a space for your confidence to stand tall and unshakable regardless of circumstance.
