Lack of Confidence? : Tue Mar 17, 2009 10:14 am
The problem with the Wire team at the moment is a team wide confidence crisis which started with the resignation of Paul Cullen, this was turned round under the first few weeks of James Lowes's time in control, but it was a fragile state and one or two setbacks and the confidence was lost.it is said that self-confidence does not necessarily imply 'self-belief' or a belief in one's ability to succeed. For instance, one may be inept at a particular sport or activity, but remain 'confident' in their demeanour, simply because they do not place a great deal of emphasis on the outcome of the activity. The key element to self-confidence is, therefore, an acceptance of the myriad consequences of a particular situation, be they good or bad. When one does not dwell on negative consequences one can be more 'self-confident' because one is worrying far less about failure or (more accurately) the disapproval of others following potential failure. One is then more likely to focus on the actual situation which means that enjoyment and success in that situation is also more probable. If there is any 'self-belief' component it is simply a belief in one's ability to tolerate whatever outcome may arise; a certainty that one will cope irrespective of what happens. Belief in one's abilities to perform an activity comes through successful experience and may add to, or consolidate, a general sense of self-confidence.
Basically what is being said is that to hurl abuse at the team will have a negative effect on some individuals and make matters worse, in other words if you cannot say anything helpful or positive leave it up to Tony Smith .
