“If you have confidence, you will perform at the level you aspire to. If you have fear, you will never achieve that level. ” —Augie Garrido
 
Building life skills through sport is something I am passionate about, and one of the fundamentally important life skills that translates the most effectively is self-confidence. You can take the confidence you gain in your sport off the field and use it in all areas of your life. Self-confidence not only helps you become a great athlete, it helps you do better in your school work, it helps you build strong relationships with your parents and peers, and it transforms you into a true leader on and off the field. True confidence helps you become a more balanced human being overall.
