Confidence is something that is built from ground up. In grade 9, I didn't make the bball team, lacked confidence and parents had no idea what basketball was. I spent the entire year playing outside, challenging myself in various ways, played against older competition, got in some scraps, built friendships and explored different ways of playing the game. Grade 10 was a complete shift in mindset and confidence came naturally because I could tell nobody put in that kind of work. When there are lows, like shooting 1-10 in a game, I just remind myself to help in all other ways possible, great screens, grab every board, be a team player and don't let the shooting percentage impact me. All it takes is one 3pt shot, nice layup or dunk, to change the momentum. Every rep, every practice, every game is part of the 10,000 hr journey πͺ
