I often feel my confidence is very high at the start of the game and then it diminishes as the game progresses and I start to second guess myself. How would you approach this issue as a player?

I’ve heard that confidence isn’t a feeling but more like courage but can you still be confident if you a feeling of uncertainty or that your training won’t translate to games or that you won’t know what to do?

If you look unreal in practice but disappear in games, this is why. Most players don’t “choke” because they lack confidence. They flip into a different setting the second pressure hits. I call it your Default Mode: the version of you that shows up automatically when your name gets called. Some players default to attack: “Give me the puck.” “I’m dangerous.” “I belong.” Others default to survival: “Keep it simple.” “Don’t be the reason.” Same skill. Different wiring. In my latest YouTube video, I break down how I think Macklin Celebrini keeps “attack mode” ON (even after mistakes) And the 3-step reset you can use mid-shift to stop the spiral and get your real game back.

I explained why players panic with the puck and make simple plays instead of confident ones. I described how our identity creates a mental box of what feels safe, and stepping outside triggers protective mechanisms that push us back through fear and self-doubt. I taught that we can expand this identity box through visualization and emotional mastery work, providing evidence to these protectors until they trust us to make bigger plays.
