Inter and its personality problems

In this league, Inter is demonstrating a lack of personality on the part of the players who seem not to have understood what the logic of a race in stages like the league is, in which regularity of pace is decisive for achieving important results. It is an issue of paramount importance for anyone who wants to achieve challenging goals. Many people today have this problem. One can also have positive self-esteem, which consists of the value we place on ourselves as people, but at the same time have low confidence. It is possible, because confidence is skill-driven and reflects the optimism of knowing how to deal with specific situations and circumstances in a seemingly spontaneous way. It is more easily influenced by external events and, therefore, is modifiable according to the situations one is experiencing. I have met several athletes who are motivated, focused, and competent but lack confidence.

Confidence is like a crystal glass, beautiful and fragile.

Usually in these athletes their actual competence is higher than the degree of confidence in it. They have difficulty drawing optimistic explanations from their successful experiences, thus they do not nurture the growth of their confidence.

Positive psychology is very clear on this point, we need to set aside global explanations of the mistakes we make. This happens when we tell ourselves “I will never understand, I always make the same mistakes” or “same mistake again, I don’t learn.” Whereas we need to engage, thinking that mistakes point the way to improvement, so let’s accept them and commit to doing differently. It has to become an automatic way of thinking and for it to happen you have to do it, some learn faster for others it will take months.

The question is, “When I am in the situations that are most important to me, what do I want my dominant thinking to be? And what do I do?”

For this to happen in competition, this way of being must already be inside the athlete, it cannot be invented on the spot. It must be practiced all the time in training; it must become a spontaneous way of thinking and acting.
