Week 10: Psychology of Cricket: Self-confidence

Today we are going to talk about something very important for skill execution. If you have it in you, your performance flows. If you don't, then even if you are technically very strong, you will struggle to find the flow. And that thing is your self-confidence.
Athletes often feel that confidence is outside them; one good match, one century or a 50, 3wickets, one positive talk by the coach, or even a visit to a psychologist or some motivational speaker will give confidence. All this can motivate you to perform your best and support your self-confidence or belief to achieve, but it's not confidence. Then what is confidence?
P.S. Please excuse the video bombing :)

Madam iam watching your lectures for the last few weeks and really appreciate them, a lesson on psychology is more mind gaming and it being thought by a person who has tremendous control on her mind is the best part of it. Uncut lectures are the best examples of it. The cute kid in the background also didnot divert your focus. Thanks for such a wonderful course.
