Which practice is a key do to develop confidence?

• A. Helping Athletes Develop Their Physical, Psychological and Social Abilities to Their Greatest Potential
• B. Reducing Practice Time to Avoid Failure
• C. Focusing Only on Winning
• D. Comparing Athletes to Others to Boost Motivation

Answer: (A)

Confidence grows when athletes are supported to develop fully across physical skills, mental strategies, and social skills to reach their best. When training builds real ability, teaches coping and focus techniques, and provides strong social support from coaches and teammates, athletes feel capable in a variety of situations. This sense of mastery and belonging makes success more likely and setbacks easier to handle, which is the core of genuine confidence. Reducing practice to avoid failure, chasing only wins, or comparing players to others tend to limit growth or undermine self-belief, so they’re less effective for building lasting confidence.
