Confidence

Do not fear failure

• Many of you are playing with a lack of confidence, which means you are afraid to fail
• A fear of failure will paralyze you if you allow your fear to alter the way you play
• The best professional athletes know they're going to miss shots or make mistakes, from time to time, they have confidence in their ability, they never give up

Focus on doing your best

• Play and work hard
• Win the ground balls, fight at 100% when that ball is on the ground, this is playing your best

Bear Bryant

• Lets say max ability is 100%
• Lets say you have a 75% ability going against a player who is 85%
• You have practiced hard, you have dedicated yourself at practice, lets say that training gives you +10%
• Let's say the other person doesn't practice as hard, and is now a 75% in the game, well you just beat them by 10%
• Now if the whole team does this, think about all the +10% we will have on the field
