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

"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

Team Attitude

Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a TEAM work, a company work, a society work, a civilisation work.  ~Vince Lombardi

This is a master key to winning

Yes I am focussing on our winning programme and sharing another reflection on how we will produce a fantastic season next year Kavanagh's 25th Anniversary season of history.

The five essential keys to build a winning team:

1. Program road map
2. TEAM attitude
3. Culture of success
4. Fundamentally sound
5. Sound concept of play

TEAM attitude is everything.

A TEAM that commits to each other -is hard to beat

It is all about what I am am willing to do for my team mates, and that includes the supporters, coach, manager, anyone who contributes to our success because this leads to your success and that is  the only order in which this can happen.

It is all about every one of us asking the question, "What can I do for the TEAM"? What can I do to support the player around me, not just on the field, but everywhere. What difference would it make if we asked this in the following situations ?

• on the sideline
• the morning of practice
• at practice
• in class
• around school
• the night before the game
• in the TEAM room changing and preparing for the game
• after a win or after a loss

The point is it really matters that TEAM and what it means to be TEAM is lived as an attitude, it least a way of acting and what this leads to is belief. A belief that the TEAM, that all of us can do it! It is like putting money in the bank, a little every day, every time we have the opportunity because when this go sour and we are 'against the wall' we have something to draw from.

It also increases trust and this topic and its' power I will save for another time.

Take care
