Hockey mindset: What actions are your team going to take to build robust self-belief?

“If you don’t have belief. You’ll always find a way not to win” — Carl Lewis 

I’ve had the privilege to work alongside numerous professional athletes and their coaches within sport. The consistent area that comes up time and again is the desire to develop self-belief. There is an understanding of the importance of self-belief for performance, which is supported by research, but it is felt that the quality seems to go up and down like a rollercoaster.  

I want to delve deeper into what self-belief is, how most people go about developing confidence, and explore how we can develop confidence that is more robust and sticks around.
