(Day 1) 7-Day Cheat Sheet to Unlock Hidden Basketball Confidence With Raleigh NC Coach Kevin Gibbs
Day 1: Unlock Your Hidden Potential in 24 Hours!
Focus: Identify your strengths and cultivate positive self-talk.
Action Step 1: Create a "Strengths Wall"
Materials: Poster board, markers, pictures, magazines
Instructions:
Decorate your wall with pictures or words representing your strengths on and off the court.
Include both basketball skills (passing, shooting, defense) and personal qualities (leadership, communication, enthusiasm).
Place your "Strengths Wall" somewhere you see it daily to boost your confidence before and after practice!
Action Step 2: Flip the Script on Negative Thoughts
Instructions:
Pay attention to your self-talk throughout the day.
When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts like "I can't do this," stop and challenge them.
Replace those negative thoughts with positive affirmations like "I can learn to do this," or "I'm getting better every day."
Practice this throughout the day, especially before facing challenges on the court.
Action Step 3: Play the Gratitude Game
Instructions:
Before bed or another quiet moment, take 3-5 minutes to write down three things you're grateful for related to basketball.
This could include:
Your supportive coach
A teammate who encourages you
Your own determination and work ethic
The opportunity to play the game you love
Reflecting on these positive aspects can shift your focus to the good things in your basketball experience and boost overall well-being.
Bonus Tip: Share your "Strengths Wall" and daily affirmations with a teammate or coach for extra support and accountability!
