Please help.

Answer 1

i had the same problem. you have to stay focussed and when you make a mistake just keep in high spirit and carry on and your confidence will gradually build as you get back into your stride

Answer 2

I know exactly how you feel mate

I have also had a recent drop in confidence in rugby but managed to work it back up to almost full now

The thing is that you are putting to much pressure on yourself

At the end of the day you enjoy playing football for whatever reason, so just enjoy it!

I was putting too much pressure on myself to perform and therefore wasn't letting myself play my natural game

Best thing to do is just think about your job on the pitch, and just do your job.

Give yourself little targets which you wish to achieve each game and work on them

Confidence is all in the head and it is easy to regain which i am sure you will

Best of luck mate and remember, just do your job!

Answer 3

form is temporary, class is permanent. If you really are a good player, you can play your way through this dip in form.  Practice is the best way to rebuild confidence - keep doing drills to the point where you do it without thinking too much - that helps you to do the sam e on the pitch.

You have to believe in yourself - everyone gets it wrong sometimes, it's your attitiude when you get it wrong that counts - you have to believe that if you make a mistake once, statistically you are less likely to make it next time and use that as a positive.

Eventually your persverance, practice and positive thinking will see you out of your dip in form
