As an example, Once me and my soccer team went on a tournament to Indiana. We came into the tournament with being a lower rank in the state. The teams we were playing were better than us at skills, size, speed,and shooting, plus they were a higher rank than us in the state. But my coach told us to to be confident in our abilities to compete. The next morning all of my teammates came in the lobby for breakfast, and all of us encouraged each other to play well. When we got on the field for our warm up we were not afraid of the other team, we didn't make comments to each other about losing, we didn't talk down on our team that maybe weren't as good as some people that, and might cause us to lose. We all were positive and optimistic about the seventy minutes ahead of us. During that game we beat the other team 1-0 in penalties. After that game I did not reflect on the match I just celebrated. But because we had courage during that game we succeeded . The next game we played we tied. During that game we

    During CCBT, I had to overcome a physical and mental obstacle. While at the Confidence Obstacle Course, I had to overcome fears I did not know I had; earlier in the day, I climbed a thirty foot obstacle and wasn’t scared but the Tarzan was different.

I believe it was the 3 inning and the score was tied 1-1 when we pulled our starting pitcher out of the game and put in our star pitcher, Duncan. What happened next was unimaginable, they scored 3 runs in a row.…

    Confidence Through Confidence If my classmates could describe me in two words it would be, antisocial and quiet. When in reality, I am scared of talking to other people.
