Another great video, fellas. A few years ago, I started a note in my phone called “Moments that made me feel good about myself.” As they’ve happened, I write them down. Then, especially if I’m struggling with my internal narrative / confidence, I refer to the list. It allows me to recollect how I felt in those moments and I feel driven again.

I really don't think it came natural to him the way it did for like Lillard, Jordan, Bird. I don't remember those guys missing game winners. LeBron and Kobe had growing pains. I wouldn't say either came into the league clutch. Kobe once airballed 3 three pointers in a playoff game. LeBron wasn't very clutch when he started. Vanished in his first two finals. I just think it's unfair that people treat LeBron as unclutch and Kobe as clutch. Neither started out clutch and both became pretty clutch.

@@jthree331 same can be said with kobe's detroit and dallas series or MJ's early 90s. We talking about clutch gene we dont have to cherry pick their worst performance to discard their attribute

5:45 The most shocking and contradictory thing is that we find SO normal to say horrible things about ourselves "why do i even try?", "this gonna go so wrong, it's me that it's doing after all", "i just mess up everything", "i'm worthless", "i'm so stupid!!" but we see as outraging to compliment ourselves, i think is because this self loathing pattern is so ingrained in our brain that is hard to feel authentic when we're good to ourselves, we don't actually believe in us. And WORSE society pushes us to think like this!!! My sister thinks i'm arrogant ("narcisist", "psycopath" or whatever the buzzword of the moment) just because i say i'm smart, smarter than him or her at a certain thing, or that i'm good at something or did well want to feel proud about it. Like we should always diminish our accomplishments so that we project an acceptable Persona to the world (while our individuality, our true self, is repressed and suffer). 6:13 Yeah, Nathaniel Brand talks about how this Sellf-belief MUST be rooted in reality, is FUNDAMENTAL, otherwise is not Self-steem at all, is just self delusion. But there's another catch, negativity can also be empty of evidence, is the famous anxiety and paranoia. So it's a two edged sword, and i think we're much more incline to the second than the first. And one the things that makes good self talk difficult for most people (myself definitely included) it's the lack of evidence, substance. In my experience i'm much more prone to negativity because most of my life was basically a huge failure, when i look back i only see defeat so i'm prone to expect more defeat, since is all that i know.

That was AWESOME!!!! You nailed it, completely, and i really needed this video now. But i missed the Doc speaking more because his advices were easily the best part. And i'm glad that i knew much of the things that was being talked, show that i'm in the right path. I think my previous comments were much more about myself, just me ruminating and digesting thoughts, than realized, i just needed to "make the unconscious conscious", develop those ideas.

Love this video. So many great insights!

The variety of content this channel puts out is awesome.

Best video for the morning. Thanks for this. I also read that this is also the approach of james clear identity based. This video cemented that idea today. Alright lets do this! Self confidence from within. Evidence base not BS ing ourselves! Thanks

Ahhh great video and content! Thanks guys :D

Before watching the entire video as a lifelong Supersonics fan I’d just like to thank you for beginning the video with the shot from Dame. OKC knows where they can go, what to do with themselves and where they can stick it.

Love this video - especially the part about writing down accomplishments as a reminder. I think the Rockets shooting woes also had to do with their legs being shot after defending the Warriors’ elite talent, but 27 misses in a row probably means it was a combination of both. 😅

Great video💯

Love the video I played basketball growing up & personally, if a game was tied I never felt ANY pressure taking those shots growing up. I miss & we go into overtime, I make it & we win. It’s all upside. And if I’m losing & need a shot to tie or win, I just wouldn’t let it affect me. If we lose, we lose, but I want to win & believe in my ability to make that happen. It’s not the end of the world if you miss it, it sucks & you may even remember it forever, but it’ll drive you. As for any professional athletes, I firmly believe that you don’t get there without borderline narcissistic confidence. There are stories where Deshawn Stevenson believed he was better than Michael Jordan. Now we as fans all know that it’s not true, but there’s so many people in life that tell you “you’re not good enough”. To make it that far, you have to believe “I am good enough. I might have to work more, but I AM good enough.” Obviously it gets harder as there’s a larger & larger audience, but if you believe in yourself more than they doubt you, you’ll make it through it.

Absolutely love this one! This video touched on the most important aspects of positive thinking. The fact that it can help, but shouldn't be phony or forced is one big point that goes overlooked very often. I always like to tell myself that, although i am not ''good'' at something, I can train myself to be good at it if I choose to because I did that multiple times with different things. It's easy for us to say ''Im just not good at that'' but that won't help us to get better at it. We should be honest to ourselves, but also push ourselves to be the best version of ourselves. Allow yourself to make mistakes, allow yourself to grow train and practice. Just know that you will get there if you realy want it. I believe that this is one of the most important lessons in live in general and I know that this way of thinking helped me to grow a lot over the past years. This Video reminded me of that. So thank you for this Video !

Fantastic video.

Awesome vid, love the honest and detailed approach. I’ve definitely seen the benefits of building true self-confidence out of awareness, but I also have questions/don’t understand the opposite(negative thoughts). For example in my first couple years of lifting I would motivate myself with neg. criticism and it made me work harder. Could anyone answer every effect of neg. thoughts, can they be motivators?, are they always bad? Thx.

Maybe this might help. I've heard yes you have to be afraid of taking risks. But you have to be more afraid of what life would look like if you took no risks at all. The fear of not being what you must be must motivate you to become just that. That in itself is negative talk. Like, "c'mon, you can't be weak forever. Now lift dammit"

I think negative emotions like vanity or fear can be good motivators until you take them too far. Working out because you hate how skinny/fat you look is fine, but going on crazy diets that leave you with no energy or throwing up meals is going too far

1. In the long term after continuous negativity you are so depressed about it that you give up (and you have also forced yourself to be so focused on this negative area that other once positive areas of your life are now also negative). 2. You get positive results in the long term and now you have no more motivation. 3. You are stressing yourself out in the short term so you aren't thinking or performing well

Great vid

This was a great video to conclude everything I learned during this self love rabbit hole i was just in

I need to get that hoodie!! Asap

9:27 In Charles Defense he DOES talk about this internal source in his (great) video on Don Draper. 9:30 And body language is actually important, if i'm feeling really powerless (which happens often nowadays) i tend to look down, be hump and sluggish, this just makes worse (i've come to term with this). So trying to maintain a good posture, look straight and in the eyes of people, and even dressing well can actually be huge in maintaing your mental stability. Of course this is more like the herbs, S&P and even the sauce not the pasta. (there's a PHENOMENAL video titled "how a camera tells a story" and it's about the Joker interrogation in Dark Knight, on how he is framed as powerless [and even jokes about it] but actually is the one in complete control, even in the jail, unarmed and with heavily armed cops brimming the place, and against the goddam Batman. Because he OWNS the information! He has things that they want so they can't get rid him and he knows the ways out, even better, i think he trust his abilities to create something out of nowhere, that's his biggest strength ["i just did what i do best"]. That's what makes him a "dog chasing cars" not that he never plans but that he's a Master tactician, more than a strategist).

great video

This was a really good video

3:48 “what a tough night from Simmons”

Definately the correct self talk is important to making great plays or creating awesome moments but having such moments already happened to you only motivates you more as it gives you even more cofidence, its a repeating loop

also the clutch is also the move or play that the player/athlete always practice, hence the confidence

Dope video

What’s the song in the beginning? I’ve heard it in a few other videos.

1:44 I guess he wasn’t with them next Super Bowl because that would’ve been clutch

9:28 Power posing actually is internally motivated. If you watch Amy Cuddy’s Ted Talk you’ll realize that power posing is not about signaling your dominance to others or anything like that but rather scientists have found that holding power poses for two minutes before let’s say a job interview will make you feel confident

I'm surprised you actually managed to get Brendan to say what he said at 6:40 lol.

The clutch gene does exist. I know because I have it. It doesn’t even make sense to me - the higher the stakes, the better my performance. I was a free throw shooting champion in middle school and I ALWAYS shot better in competitions than in practice. Now I’m an actor and I ALWAYS audition better than I prep for auditions. It doesn’t makes no sense to me but that’s how it is with me. I can take no credit for it. It’s just how I’ve always been.

“Agueroooo, I swear you’ll never see anything like this”

Great video. Maybe I can have some confidence now¿? :)

great vid, also what's the song from 0:25

The moment isn’t too big if you know that you’re capable. This is what’s supposed to happen. It’s a self confidence problem. If you know, you know. It can’t be taught. Your eyes get a little wider. Your heart slows down. You get tunnel vision. You’re locked in, focused. If your palms get sweaty. Everything is a distraction to you at that moment, it’s all over for you.

Man 1 in 72,000 chance of the Rockets missing all of those three pointers in that fashion. That's totally wild honestly. I don't mean this as like a trash talking thing. I had no dog in that fight really. That said, this is why we play the game honestly. The analytics are cool to an extent, but sometimes teams really do do the impossible. Good and bad. I mean McGrady scored 13 in 33 seconds. That's completely insane and the likelihood of that has to be so low. Just amazing to watch this sport and see how special these moments really are statistically. These really are like superhuman athletes. The things they're able to do mentally and physically are so unlikely and they're only able to do it because they aren't thinking about it. Very "never tell me the odds" Han Solo kind of thing hahah.

Im not that good at english can somebody please say what are the steps that i should do now to get confident

Music at the beginning?

The part about being able to talk big and have the means to back up really rings true in MJ and Kobe's case, their work ethic being so unmatched no doubt gave them such a huge boost of confidence when the big moments came

6:40 you tell them Brendan

Wow.

Odd I find when I'm hard on myself or being negative in big moments for sports thats when I start to pop off

Idk why but on my basketball team I usually start of cold and miss my shots but I'm just so clutch and make big shots down the game and take the last shot idk why I just consistently hit fade aways

Anytime I play pick up basketball I'm closer and everybody knows it. I never think about it. The focus level different for me. But I guess it makes sense since sometimes I'm so confident on myself that some people call me delusional. Some people are born like that I believe.

Hey cam, Do you guys have some literature about this topic?

This is a great video with a great message but consider fewer cuts, especially in between seeing your guest on your laptop and then cutting to their face. (but you do fix this in the final moments) In general cuts are disruptive, and for a lot of content on Goal Guys, you want people to sit with the idea so I think it's at odds with your message.

Same thing as marines in war. It’s muscle memory that’s why we go through all of that training.

It’s hyper focus. I can play poorly for 75-85% of a game. That last 15-25%, matters so much more to me.

The rockets going 0/27 claim is funny and technically true but harden did make a three during that stretch but the refs waived it off because he got fouled ‘before the shooting motion’ (despite it clearly being during the shooting motion)

Athletes are amusing which sometimes does not reflect real life since I know some that are better than professionals but do not complete due to the many hoops one has to go though and finances they need to accomplish it, but some just don't care to deal with it and do it for self. As for the video of making it count does not sound statistically logical which most fail. Sports are over hyped which is why the original Olympic stopped it.
