Quotes to ponder:

"The most consistent finding in peak performance literature is the direct, positive relationship between confidence and success."

"Confidence is all about believing in ourselves. It's having realistic faith that we can make anything happen, fulfill our dreams, and reach our goals."

"Helping kids choose to create their confidence doesn't guarantee they'll always play great, but it does give them the best opportunity to perform closer to their potential (and have more fun)."
