Everyone tells you the same thing. āBe confident in the box.ā
Cool. You already know that.
Hereās the reality. You donāt feel the same at 10-for-10 as you do at 0-for-10.Thatās human.
Thatās how the brain works.
So stop trying to jump from 2 to 10.
If you walk into the park at a 2, your job is simple:
Get to a 3.
Thatās it.
Confidence isnāt flipped on. It's built.
You build it by stacking small, controllable wins:
- Good breath before every pitch
- Staying present for an entire at-bat
- Winning the first pitch decision
- Competing regardless of result
Your brain recognizes wins.
Wins create positive feedback.
Positive feedback creates momentum.
Thatās how confidence compounds.
2 ā 3
3 ā 4
4 ā 5
Five or six days later, youāre back in that 7ā8 range without forcing it.
Donāt chase fake confidence.
Stack real wins.
Thatās how you climb out of the valleys during a season.
