Everyone feels fear at various times; we're human, however facing circumstances with courage and poise strengthens character and builds self-confidence. By putting myself out there! If I am afraid to meet new people, attend social events, I refuse to stay at home and fret. Doing builds confidence. Of course, I’ll feel, and probably be awkward the first few times in new situations, however, the more I do it, the better I’ll get, and therefore the better I’ll feel about myself.

Confidence is a big aspect in my life that I’ve always lacked.

    Fear and self doubt had kept me from school subsequently making it harder for me to return and catch up. My failure to teach may have been that I wasn't focused enough to help my students, but I was there when they needed me to help them learn the importance of studying, citizenship, and team work, so it wasn't surely a failure.

Faking confidence was no longer a concern, once I managed to withstand the ordeal, I knew nothing else could scare me.…

Although, I am a player that wants to be successful more than anything else in the world I am willing to go through anything and everything you can think of if it will make me a better athlete.
