We’ve all been there. We’ve all told ourselves we’re not good enough, even though we are. We’ve crumbled under pressure, because we let doubts, fears, and a Debbie Downer of an inner voice kill our confidence.

But here’s the deal: no matter how much you train on and off the derby track, if you don’t believe in yourself, you’ll never achieve your goals and desires.

Here are some feelings you might be familiar with:

• “I’m a perfectionist, so I feel frustrated and anxious about my performance”
• “I am always comparing myself to my teammates, and I never feel like I’m good enough to actually be on this team”
• “I don’t have enough confidence in my skills to be able to lead my line on the track”
• “I feel (and act) like I’m the weak link, even though I know I’m probably doing fine”
• “I’m new, and I feel like I’ll never catch up – I’m always in my head getting down on myself about being slow to learn new skills”

These kinds of experiences are so common – we feel this way at work, in social situations, and particularly so in a sport like roller derby! Derby is a complex strategic game, with heavy reliance on both individual skill and group strategy. Plus it’s a specialized set of skills that most of us have not been doing for very long! We demand a lot of ourselves, and many of us feel a lack of confidence because ‘we’re just not good enough’ to be as successful as we want to be.

We’re here to change that with a Confidence Challenge!

In the next four weeks, I will load you up with new tools and routines to improve your self-confidence on the track (and off), so you can silence the negative inner voice, and live up to your true potential.

Every week, we will focus on a different skill or self-awareness study. We’ll cover areas of focus like:

• Where does confidence come from?
• Knowing your confidence killers
• That voice in your head… and how to change it
• Powerful routines (like things you can do before practice or games)
• … and more.

You’ll get some background reading, some ‘homework’ like a worksheet, or reflecting on your own experience, or practicing a new mental habit, and a chance to reflect on what works best for you as we move through the Challenge together.
