HERSCHEL PREPARATORY SCHOOL HOCKEY NETBALL CROSS COUNTRY SQUASH P.E Athlete support & development Our Grade 4s participated in a workshop on How to manage your confidence run by Ruan Schlebusch, Managing Director of Sportsthink 360. While feelings of inadequacy are completely normal at this age - it is an area that is often not directly addressed. The girls were encouraged to talk openly about their experiences and were given suggestions about what to do if they felt their nerves getting the better of them in the future. They had this to say about what they had learned: Alice Bailey: we learnt about the blockers and the boosters and its normal to get nervous Katherine Slingers: its ok to be scared and nervous India Rautenbach: the blockers can sometimes be very helpful Sarah Ashbolt: that everybody gets scared and nervous sometimes and that s ok Tara Mae Varney: winning isn t everything, so if you don t win you don t have to get upset Amy Lashbrooke: we learnt that even people who go to the Olympics get nervous so its ok for 9 and 10 year olds to get nervous Alex Ovendale: we learnt that you must try new things and be excited to try different things Charlotte Jacobs: it s ok to be nervous, it s normal, the only way to fix it is to talk about it. Sometimes you just have to be confident and trust yourself Sarah Jane Harrison: I learnt that the blockers try to help but sometimes you don t need them because they hold you back Nurah Harnekar: boosters can be really powerful Sarah Holwill: I was at gymnastics and was scared of something so I told myself to just put away my blockers and get out those boosters Boosters: goal setting, confidence, believing in yourself, courage, happiness, excitement, enthusiasm, trust, faith in yourself, your emotions, hope, enjoyment, adrenalin, positivity, pride, Blockers: Nerves, embarrassment, scared, fear, ashamed, butterflies, accidents, worry, worried you will get hurt, lack of confidence, your emotions, pride 1
