A recent study demonstrated how powerful a few words can be: Forty competitive tennis players were shown digital images of balls coming their way. Just before each ball appeared, the players saw or heard comments like "Good shot" or "Bad shot. " The reaction times of players hearing negative remarks were measurably slower. And these were athletes who trained frequently to play a consistent game and not make unforced errors.
What is the explanation? Negative feedback weakens anyone’s belief in his or her ability to succeed. But if you can hold on to a winning attitude, you’ll make a greater effort and also create positive drive. Confident people inspire others; opportunities seem to come their way more often. They become magnets for success.
Learn the importance of giving yourself
pep talks
, and keep the voice in your head positive. The best athletes’ success is rarely due to raw talent alone. It’s because they’re simply better prepared. They stay focused, they’re willing to work as hard as they need to, and they keep the positive voice in their heads switched on.
Perhaps the most important aspect of being your own coach is to do what any outside adviser—or a good parent, for that matter—would preach; practice, practice, practice. Avoid individuals who suck your energy and diminish your confidence. Hang out with the people who see you at your best, and remind you about it very often. Pessimists drag you down, as do whiners and critics. If there’s one winning behavior that people building confidence should model, it’s the willingness to get back into the game after a setback. Don’t nurse your wounds.
There are, however, important warnings. Panicking can compound a small misstep by causing you to lose your head and forget to think clearly. If you suffer a terrible loss, give yourself time to absorb the blow. Don’t deny the hurt or try to solve the problem immediately. Gather your support system around you and simply get nurtured. Sitting around and thinking about your loss is the worst thing you can do to solve your problem.
We learn from the first paragraph that______.
