4 FACTORS THAT WILL IMPROVE YOUR CONFIDENCE

4 FACTORS THAT WILL IMPROVE YOUR CONFIDENCE

One of the demands star runners with which work is trust. Or rather the lack of it. I always tell them that the first thing to do is to define what trust. Without that makes no sense no more. Because many runners who feel its negative effects when they don't have it and they see it reflected in its brands, but they don't know it explain. We must remember that naming the feelings is very important.

Confidence is nothing more and nothing less than a positive hypothesis about the future. Put it another way, is to have the certainty that you are able to do something. Then the confidence is not more than an interpretation. And if it is an interpretation to the end and Cape, why don't we take advantage of it and interpret in favour of our interests?

Imagine that you are about to leave to run your race weekend. Or have proposed you end a training demanding supe. You can choose between interpreting that you know that you are able to do so or you can choose to interpret that is not going to be able to, that you're tired and that's going to hurt, you are mentally very loose or that the grandmother smoked... Actually, this part is your decision.

Of course, if I stop here I would be selling smoke and promoting magical thinking. And there no pass! Hence the importance of the next step.

As a runner, what I do to increase your chances of positively interpret the event to which I have to face?

1. Improve my physical, technical and mental abilities. And Yes, that only gets training.

2. Show me with facts that I have those capabilities which will allow you to succeed: see how I'm improving (times, % fat, ratings...)

3. Make proper attributions.

4. Have faith: understood as that conviction, that certainty which tells you that everything will turn out well. It is a sensation that is nourished by the hope.
