This week

Plenty of food for thought this week from the draconian predictions of the fourth estate to the musings of Bob Murphy on confidence and self esteem.

“Confidence is a funny thing….. Most players grapple with the mystery of how to find it, and the perennial question, ”Where did it go?” Something that’s of more relevance, I believe, is a player’s and a team’s self-esteem. It is relevant for every team, for every athlete in the world.  Self-esteem in the modern footballing landscape comes from a player’s ability to play his role for the team.  Self-esteem is not gained, as I understand it, from a spectacular mark, a lace-out pass to the full-forward, or from a banana goal from the fourth row. Those things are football fairy floss.  Self-esteem comes from whether you were able to produce effort to a level your teammates expect of you.”
