Confidence is a belief in oneself, the conviction that one has the ability to meet life's challenges and to succeed—and the willingness to act accordingly. Being confident requires a realistic sense of one’s capabilities and feeling secure in that knowledge.

Projecting confidence helps people gain credibility, make a strong 1st impression, deal with pressure, and tackle personal and professional challenges. It’s also an attractive trait, as confidence helps put others at ease.

Your work ethic impacts every aspect of your role as an athlete and as a human being. It impacts your attitude and what you do daily, including how you show up to practice, how much you push yourself during conditioning and strength training, how you get along with your coach and teammates, and so much more. Work ethic encompasses traits such as honesty, integrity, humility, dedication, responsibility, preparation, and accountability. These traits dictate how you act toward others or how you react to negative situations. Do you slam the door when you’re mad, or do you take deep breaths and go for a walk? Do you tell the coach you were late for the second time this week because of bad traffic when really you were trying to finish up messaging your friend, or do you apologize and work to be on time tomorrow? Your identity, your personality, who you are, is all linked to your work ethic. A strong work ethic is all about treating others well, putting in extra effort when it is not asked of you, being humble, playing to help your team win (not just to get cheers from the crowd), and being honest not only to others but to yourself. Anything less is a shoddy work ethic that will get you nowhere.
