Can anyone give me some tips because I get anxiety and nervous before my games and during games. I’m nervous because I think that I’m gonna do bad and make bad plays. Also, another thing how I get nervous is people saying bad things to me and getting yelled by the coach. What can I do to help boost my confidence?

Thanks for uploading the video on nerves it really helped me out! I'll put your words in my head for my game on Saturday. W vid!

I'm an 8th grade hooper trying to make an HS basketball team. I have never been that good at the game and I play in an developing league. Im trying to improve my game to make a HS or AAU basketball team. I have low confidence. I only see the negatives and I joined the community to improve that. (I know I'm late on introducing myself. I've been here a week.)

I'm really struggling with keeping my spirts up. I feel like I'm too behind to play HS basketball. My whole middle school makes fun of me. Nobody passes me the ball in games. I know it's also on me. I'm trying my best to put the work in. My coach does not believe in me. I'm trying to show that I'm the hardest worker. He won't look at me. I can't get out of this headspace. Any tips?
