The Skill of Self Confidence: Dr. Ivan Joseph at TEDxRyersonU

KAVANAGH COLLEGE FOOTBALL

"He Ngakau Nui - With Pride" 


“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” 

― Muhammad Ali

One of the the best ways to improve our speed and our play as a team is trust, and one fo the best ways to enhance our trust is self condfidence, a belief that we can do what we set outto do. THis is not arrogance hwich assumes or pretends I am better than anyone else, this is a strong inner sense that i have put inthe work, I know what I can and dan't do, I know that I am going to give my best and I know that my team mates will give their best whatever the outcome.





This TED talk above on CONFIDENCE is a good reminder to choose the attitude of optismism, that good things are possible, that inspite of not gettgin it the first or 10th time, I will accomplish what I am trying to do. I cna practice more, watch you tube clips, ask a firend, consult a book or a coach.


When i played for Duneidn Tec and we won many Southern Championships we had a fantastic "rub man" and believer, Noel. Noel said he was in the believers club, he expected the best.

We can all help each other develop confidence and grow that confidence by giving feedback,positive feedback, by working hard and by keeping perspective with a laugh.

See you on the training field

Hi guys, I came across this basic buit excellent presentation of defensive movement

with explaination. It is easy to see andworth the whole 10inutes.

It captures in one place without multiple lines on a white board or static pictures

that require understanding someone elses map.



Monday morning training, just the best way to start the day.
Great seeing everyone in the morning training by the way.
