The Truth About Confidence (Most Basketball Players Get This Wrong)- Coach VJ Interview

Most basketball players struggle with confidence but it's not because they don’t work hard, but because they’ve been taught the wrong way to build it.

In this episode of The Dreamer’s Blueprint, I sit with mental performance coach and public speaker Coach VJ to break down the truth about confidence and why most players get it wrong.

If you’re a basketball player who:
-loses confidence after mistakes
-struggles with negative self-talk
-feels confident in practice but not in games
-doubts yourself after failure or a bad game
-or feels pressure to perform in a limited role

This conversation is for you.

We break down:
+What confidence actually is (and what it isn’t)
+Why confidence is a trainable skill, not a feeling
+How failure plays a role in building real confidence
+The importance of courage and taking action
+How to flip negative self-talk into productive self-belief
+The difference between internal vs external confidence

One of the biggest lessons from this episode:
Failure isn’t an event—it’s part of the process.
