“Confidence is earned by winning matches, it's true. But it is important to find out other techniques to gain confidence."

Eli's tips

  1. “You have to set realistic goals that are up to us. For example, playing with great physical intensity is up to us.
  2. La visualization. You have to visualize situations in which you are very confident. Close your eyes and imagine a winning shot for example.
  3. Changing negative thoughts, which we have regularly when we play a game with tension, by positive thoughts. It is very important that our dialogue is based on aspects on which we want to progress, not on the previously missed points.
  4.  Finally, the last but most important thing: good training and preparation. If you train hard, being fully engaged in what you are doing, your confidence will increase. It will make you win matches, which will even make you gain confidence! ” A virtuous circle of sorts!

Here are the keys, all you have to do is apply them!
