Here's a cross-post from my basketball blog focusing on defeating doubt and developing confidence.
It includes specific recommendations and helpful books.
- Atomic Habits by James Clear
- Performing Under Pressure by Weisinger and Pawliw-Fry
- Ten Minute Toughness by Jason Selk
Here's an excerpt:
Practice exercises to build confidence. Here are a few:
- Look confident. Stand tall. Make yourself big. There's data to suggest doing so increases testosterone and decreases stress hormones (cortisol).
- Keep a compliments journal.
- Reflect on our skills. How do we add value?
- Replace negative thoughts with positive ones.
- Create a self-esteem collage.
- Listen to upbeat music.
