Most players think confidence comes before performance.

In reality, it’s built during pressure.

Here are 3 confidence mechanics elite players use — but rarely get taught:

1. Confidence lives in recovery time, not perfection
   The difference between confident and shaky players isn’t mistakes.
   It’s how long the nervous system stays disrupted after one.

Elite confidence = short recovery window.
One mistake → quick physiological reset → back online.

Train the reset, not the mistake.

2. Your brain reads urgency as danger — unless you train it otherwise
   Crowd noise. Coaches yelling. Game pace speeding up.
   The brain can misread this as threat and tighten the body.

Confident players don’t “try to stay calm.”
They use body-based cues (breath rhythm, jaw, shoulders) to tell the brain:
“I’ve been here before. This is manageable.”

That’s trained. Not talent.

3. Pressure breaks players who need confidence to feel good
   If you need confidence first, pressure will always win.

Elite players reverse the order:
They execute simple actions first — confidence follows.

Small actions. Clear roles. One job per shift.

Confidence is not a mindset.
It’s a trained response system that keeps you clear when things get messy.

Stay Sharp and Skate like the wind, Izzy
