Why Is Self-confdence Important?
Self-confdence is arguably one of the most important things you can have. Self-confdence refects your assessment of your own self-worth. It will play a large part in determining your happiness through life.
Sport can be both enormously effective in improving self-worth, and highly destructive in damaging it. Where sport is used creatively, with emphasis on enjoyment, effective goal setting and monitoring of achievement of goals, it can build self-confidence as targets are reached and improvement in performance is noted.
Where children are compelled to participate in a sport for which they have no aptitude, this can be immensely destructive to self-confdence as failure and lack of self-worth are consistently reinforced. Coaches should ask themselves whether they are prepared to takemoral responsibility for inflicting this damage.
Self-confidence allows you to take risks, as you have enough confdence in your own abilities to be sure that if things do go wrong, you can put things right.
How Goal Setting Helps Self-confdence?
Goal setting is probably the most effective way of building self-confdence. By setting measurable goals, achieving them, setting new goals, achieving them, and so on you prove your ability to yourself. You are able to prove to yourself that you are able to perform and achieve effectively. You can see and recognise and enjoy your achievement, and feel real self-worth in that achievement.
Importantly, by knowing what you are able to achieve, you are not setting yourself up for surprise failure—you almost always have a reasonably accurate assessment of what your abilities really are.
How Imagery, Positive Thinking, and Suggestion Help Self-confdence?
Imagery is useful in building self-confdence, but only if properly applied.
Imagery should be used to imagine achievement of a goal that is being worked towards in order to help you to believe that that goal is attainable.
自信為什麽重要？
按理說，自信是我們所擁有的最重要的財富之一，它反映出你對自我價值的評定，對人生幸福起著至關重要的作用。
體育運動有助於自我價值的提高，同時也極具破壞力。說它具有創造性，是因為它強調的是運動的享受功能，有利於製訂切合實際的目標，以及監控目標的完成。如果目標達到並看到了成功的跡象，自信便建立起來。
強迫孩子參加他們不擅長的運動，會嚴重挫傷他們的自信，因為失敗和自我價值的缺失會不斷地突顯出來。教練們應該問自己，他是否從道義上已作好了承擔責任的準備，使孩子們免受傷害。
自信允許你冒險，因為你對自己的能力有足夠的信心，若果真不幸誤入歧途，你也有扶正它們的能力。
如何設定目標有助於培養自信？
或許設定目標是培養自信最有效的方法。確定適當的目標，努力實現它們，然後建立新的目標，再努力實現。長此以往，就向自己證明了你的能力。你可以采取行動並有效地實現目標，可以辨別並享受你的成就，這種成就可以讓人感知自我的真正價值。
重要的是，由你能夠達到的目標可知，你並不會有驚人的失敗——對於自己的真正能力，你幾乎總有合理而正確的評估。
意象、積極思考以及建議如何提升自信？
合理利用意象，對自信的培養非常有用。
為了幫助你相信自己確定的目標可以實現，應該用意象的方法來想象你所設定的目標已經實現。
