Building Confidence in Children
Confidence has so many potential benefits for a child’s sporting success that it is difficult to overstate its importance. A confident child will pursue their training more eagerly and will stick at it longer, further improving their chances of success. Lack of confidence, on the other hand, can make a child give up sport altogether. So here are a few confidence-boosting tips:
* Try to avoid putting children in situations where they are of a lesser standard than most/all of those around them.
* Remember "Whether you say you can or you say you can’t, you are right." Whenever you hear the child voicing a negative thought such as "I’m useless at...", "I‘ll never be able to...", etc., remind them of a past success they have had. And after they finish each session, make a point of telling them what went right, what they achieved, how they improved, however small.
* Where possible, surround the child with positive, encouraging people.
* Of course, success is the ultimate key to confidence. If they are frequently successful, the child is obviously going to be highly confident of achieving success next time around. But what is success? It isn’t just about winning. If they‘re a runner, they might lose a race but still get a personal best time. Success or failure? Confidence could take a dive or go sky-high, depending on how they choose to look at it. Your job is to make sure they judge themselves by how well they do, not by whether anyone else happens to do better that day.
