Confidence is having belief in yourself that you can do things.
- Having belief in yourself is often called having self worth.
- Knowing and believing that you can do things is often called self efficacy.
It is important for coaches to understand that people having the ability to take part and believing they can take part are not the same thing. People may take part but lack the self-efficacy to be fully confident in their abilities.
