This may seem like an obvious point.
A point that has been made before. It may seem redundant.
But to be it, you have to believe it.
All the best players believe in themselves. (Some players even have a secret weapon)
Winning teams must belief they can win.
Beliefs tend to be self-fulfilling. They perpetuate themselves. You belief you can be a shooter. You practice more. You have more confidence. You see the ball go in. Your aim improves when firing the puck. You enjoy it so you do it more.
You must take care because if you let negative ideas and thoughts creep in and you believe those they can have a negative effect.
What you belief is powerful.
You can make it a skill.
The first step is believing!
