Rob Herring, Ireland hooker, said belief was the key factor in his team\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;There\u2019s a lot of belief in the squad and we\u2019ve shown throughout the last year that we can come back and hold out in those big moments.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Herring also commented that his team is,<em> &#8220;Quite a tight group and from the three and half weeks we\u2019ve been on tour, that sense of being tight-knit has grown considerably.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Irish rugby team demonstrates a level of cohesiveness&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being tight-knit means they value and respect one another and their team. They are also fully invested in their team goals and mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy is contagious, and when just one person in a tight group believes, everyone else starts to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Herring said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;That\u2019s the kind of belief you need to keep building going into a World Cup.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My brother and I grew up with this well-known family of four kids. We all played sports together through high school and were all really athletic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The youngest in the family of four was short with a small build. Basketball was her sport and I\u2019m pretty sure she never got over 5\u20195\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her size didn\u2019t stop her at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This young athlete had one of the greatest work ethics I\u2019ve ever seen. She was always in the gym or on the blacktop working on her skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With each game she played, she brought the same <strong>belief<\/strong> and <strong>intensity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether she was going up against giants or weaker opponents, she believed in her ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The siblings before her all went to Duke University, they were brilliant. Naturally, she also wanted to attend Duke. Though, she wanted to hoop too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This athlete attended Duke and walked-on for the first three years of her college career. She was a fan-favorite and everyone in Cameron Indoor would cheer when she got on the floor in the last few minutes of a blowout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of her playing time and status as a walk-on, she never lost faith and remained the same <strong>confident<\/strong> athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her senior year, she was granted a scholarship to play her last collegiate season as a Blue Devil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her hard work paid off and she was rewarded for her constant effort and unwavering belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"She_believed_she_could_so_she_did\"><\/span>She believed she could, so she did.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to this athlete and the Ireland rugby team, you have to believe in yourself, your skills, and what you bring to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we say, <em>&#8220;You can talk yourself into victory or defeat, what\u2019s it going to be?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you don\u2019t <strong>believe in yourself,<\/strong> your performance habitually shows it. On the other hand, when you remain <strong>confident<\/strong> and continuously believe, your performance is a reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Believing in yourself and what you bring each day, being <strong>confident,<\/strong> is a significant piece to the <strong>mental skills<\/strong> puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn for about <strong>confidence<\/strong> and believing in yourself, please check out our audio and workbook program, &#8220;The Confident Athlete&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-979ef383-5bc7-43ee-b8f9-249663ca1a6c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Sports_Psychology_Articles\"><\/span>Related Sports Psychology Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-05642731-8752-4dbf-9c18-5cc4d276e821\" class=\"wp-block-list has-normal-font-size\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/do-you-or-your-team-have-the-comeback-mindset\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-remain-confident-when-behind\/\"><strong>How to Remain Confident When Behind<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-grow-competition-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-not-be-over-confident-in-competition\/\"><strong>How to Not Be Over Confident in Competition<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-preparation-boosts-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-play-more-confidently-in-sports\/\"><strong>How to Play More Confidently in Sports<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-5726d13f-f715-4ca4-8813-2f8a9ebd8bc3\">*Subscribe to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/sports-psychology-podcast-by-peaksports-com\/id152566009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on iTunes<br>*Subscribe to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/a> <\/strong>on Spotify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-281f5afb-980b-4c71-9aa0-11d606b5f7c9\"><strong>Download a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/mental-toughness-report-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free sports psychology report<\/a>&nbsp;to improve your mental game!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-94138e75-d591-4645-bb1d-212cf57a8841\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sport-psychology-training-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about our one-on-one mental game coaching.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Confident_Athlete\"><\/span>The Confident Athlete <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/confident-athlete-audio250.jpg\" alt=\"The Confident Athlete Audio\" class=\"wp-image-16347\" style=\"width:198px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Confident Athlete\u201d consists of 2 audio programs that include 14 days of confidence fueling exercises and a simple to follow workbook that guides you through the 14 days, helps you apply the strategies, and customizes the exercises to your personal needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me help you put a <strong>stop to the confidence leak<\/strong>.
