Do You Have Trouble Hitting Fairway Woods?
I can hit my Fairway Woods just fine, off the tee. But get into the Fairway, and I almost panic. I don’t know why I get so nervous when I have to hit my Fairway Woods off the g 00004000 round.
It has gotten to the point where I just know I’m going to hit a bad shot as soon as I pull that 3 Wood from my Bag. And that is where I am messing up. I have confidence in all my other Golf Clubs. Why Not My Woods? But each time I pull that Fairway Wood from my bag I tell myself subconsciously that this shot is going to suck.

How can I build my confidence and become effective at speaking?
I am 25, and work in a professional company. I do find that I am effective at speaking to people on on one on one basis but when it comes to meetings I am SO ineffective. I seem to hide behind a very low toned voice, say very little, have very few questions or ideas. Because of this I do not feel whole. How can this be corrected to build confidence and also to talk more effectively? (I need to be more aware and intelligent I guess).
No, you don’t need to be more intelligent or aware.
Don’t be worried if you have few questions or ideas. It doesn’t make you ineffective just because you couldn’t think of any.
Whenever you have to speak, listen to yourself. Imagine you’re sitting at the other end of the room, can you hear someone else speak in the tone you’re using now? Stop thinking about all those pairs of eyes (and glasses) focused on you, and focus on what you want to say, making sure that everyone can hear you. Look one person in the eye at first (preferably the asker), and increase that number as your confidence increases, starting with friendly colleagues. The important thing about looking people in the eye when speaking is to not concentrate on their facial expression. Imagine instead that the words you want to say are written on their faces.
Judging people’s reactions by looking them in the eye is something i recommend for when your confidence level has really improved. Until then, just use their faces as your teleprompter, and keep asking yourself ‘can the guy at the back of the room hear me?’ (it’s not so much about your opinion being heard by everyone, it’s about being considerate to ensure he hears what’s being said too)
How can I build confidence when performing music?
I have a friend in the percussion section at my school who has trouble performing with confidence. As the section leader it is my duty to help him improve which is why I am asking this question. He has a lot of potential to be an amazing drummer but he lacks confidence which is the only thing holding him back. Does anyone know an exercise or a way I can build his confidence?
Hey man, I’ll give you my best answer.
-Just a quick background from where i’m coming from-
—I’m 18, moved from NY knowing drumset, and then ended up in KY joining the drumline-
—marched for about 4 years on Bass and Quads-state champions and in the best drumline in the state of KY as of the 2008 marching season-
—Now I teach at a local high school, both marching percussion and indoor percussion-
Now for the answer to your question, the best way I personally know to fix a confidence problem (which is a VERY common problem, so dont be too hard on him) is to attack it from several different angles.
heres a few steps you should take to fix it:
1. Do a Self- Assessment with your group.
-have each member describe to you what they think their worst problems are, when performing.
-then as section leader, participate yourself, and then give criticism back; describe what YOU see the problems as.
-do this for EACH member, not just the one with the big problem.
2. Group Assessment
– now have each member play their show (regardless of whether its indoor book, marching, or pep band, or even just warmups.)
– while you go thru each members book, critique that person, as a group. if you have to arc around him or her, and stare at him, then do so.
—The Advantage—
If you cannot play comfortably in front of your peers, then you will NEVER be able to perform in front of a large crowd or stadium with 16K people in it. Ive never seen a situation where this wasnt true.
– After the critique of each individual player, go thru the sections and play your book, one section at a time, still critiquing them. Basses first, Snares, then Tenors for example.
3. Record the group or player on video and literally SHOW them what they look like. More often than not, he looks timid at the drum, looks very young and inexperienced. He probably looks like he’d scream if somebody even farted in his direction.
If he acts like this, then try those 3 steps..If it doesnt work, email me at jflintpercussion@yahoo.com- let me know, and I’ll come up with something else to help you out.
hope the advice helps! keep drumming!
How to build up my confidence in a bathing suit?
I live in southern california, so not wearing a bathing suit isn’t an option. I have a nice body, so that’s not the problem. Im just not confident wearing one. How can I build confidence?
you know what I never thought of wearing it around the house but most deinfately wearing it would be a fantastic idea. Now I am not so sure WHY your confidence lacks becuase girl I am not skinny AT ALL and I wear a bikini and sometimes I don’t feel confident but I just hold my head up and fake it! I know it sounds “fake” and bad to be “fake” but faking it will actually help you develope real confidence. I would go to the beach and rock it, seriously! You’re a beautiful girl, I am sure who has a rockin bod. You were lucky enough to be blessed on this earth with a thin frame and girl I couldn’t tell you how many girls I know who cry at night wanting to be skinny so bad. So don’t you waste your time not feeling confident you are a lucky girl and you should embrace what you have. You can do it, I know it! Show all those other girls that you are a confident girl who deserves all the head turns, I am sure you get! Good luck beautiful! Stay strong, you never know who’s watching!
What are some good ways to build confidence in yourself?
I want to break out of my shy shell and become more outgoing so I know I need more confidence. What are good ways to build confidence? Also when I talk to new people I don’t have a very exciting life so I don’t really have much to talk about what are good ways to go about this?
Learn to tolerate the opinions of others without accepting them as facts & accept the facts when truth is proven! not everyone has the ability to do the above, so they shut-down,walk away or refuse to comment without realizing it’s normal to disagree………I think building confidence is a matter of being comfortable with yourself & those surrounding you—–generally speaking “we all have different thoughts, experiences & opinions’ …..just keep in mind when sharing your thoughts, experiences or opinions don’t expect others to react or view things your way (be open minded)…..in conclusion, once we recognize that not allowing harmful remarks dictate our growth, possibilities are endless!… HOPE THAT HELPS!
How to build confidence in my children?
I have two boys who are toddlers. I understand that, in general, boys don’t have as fragile of an ego as girls do. But I’ve heard that there are certain ways to build confidence in your children to help set them up for success and a good sense of well-being. I’d like them to grow up without the self esteem and confidence issues I had, but I’d like to make sure they don’t become arrogant. How should I start building good confidence in my boys?
Always praise them. And always seem happy for what they accomplish even if it seems like nothing. Its a big deal for them.
Even if its bad grades..tell them what a wonderful job they did.
