"Don't Take Anything Personally"

"Don't take anything personally" is one of The Four Agreements. If someone gives negative feedback, "you're not a good player," that says everything about them and nothing about you. 

First, assess your inputs. Put in the mental preparation and study, the practice, and physical training. Get and give feedback with mentors. 

Next, assess your outputs (progress). The most important of these is impacting winning. Samuel L. Jackson explains that "every role is not for you." That didn't mean that his audition was lacking. When your best isn't good enough, circle back to your inputs. What adjustments are needed?

"Control what you can control" - attitude, choices, effort. Your attitude includes your confidence. Bill Parcells comment, "confidence comes from proven success" implies earning confidence. "Off days" happen, but energy and effort should be consistent. 

When you've done the work and have the receipts, you're entitled to self-belief.
