Unconditional Confidence VERSUS Conditional Confidence

Key Points

• Conditional confidence is the trust that you will play well and win
• Unconditional confidence is the self-given permission to play freely
• Conditional confidence only allows for conditional access to your current ability
• You always have the choice to step up and play freely with no guarantee
• Helpful statements: Play Free; Free body, Free Mind; Free With No Guarantee
• Look at the “evidence” and compare how you feel when you play freely, as opposed to when you’re “tight” and “steering” the ball
