🔥 How Can I Stay Confident When I’m Not Doing Great?

Carissa — phenomenal question. And honestly, this is where 90% of players get stuck. Most people think confidence comes after good results. “I’m winning, so now I feel confident.” But that’s not confidence — that’s just comfort. Real confidence is what you bring into the match, not what you get from it. So if you’re playing bad and suddenly feel like you’ve “lost” your confidence, that means it wasn’t real to begin with. True confidence is never determined by the score. It’s determined by your choice to keep showing up, right now, no matter what’s happening. That’s what makes you a force.

💪 Confidence is a Decision, Not a Reward

Here’s the shift: confidence isn’t a result of performance — it’s a way of being. You decide to be confident by choosing to stay grounded, alert, and fully engaged, especially when things aren’t going your way. When you’re down in a match and you still lean in, still stand your ground, still compete like your heart’s on fire — that’s confidence. That’s when you build your identity as a competitor. Confidence doesn’t mean you win every point. It means you bring your full self to every point. And when you start depending on that — on your presence instead of the outcome — your whole game changes.
