Confidence is the belief and skill of executing an action. When it comes to sports, it’s the ability to score a goal. When it comes to public speaking, it’s the power to get your message across.

Confident people don’t overthink and they perform the activity naturally. They are relaxed and not tense. They enter the zone and let muscle memory and instincts take over.

As a result, confident people’s mentalities are more focused on doing it rather than minimizing mistakes. They have a psychological ability to prevent the self-inflicted placebo effect.

Confident people work on controlling the variables that can affect the outcome. Once they remove all distractions and emotions, they fall back to the hours of practice and preparation.
