Confidence can make or break a young player’s development, on and off the court.
In this episode, Kevin and Coach J dive deep into why kids lose confidence in basketball, the subtle signs coaches and parents should watch for, and practical ways to help players rebuild their belief in themselves. From personal stories to real coaching strategies, we cover everything from body language and missed shots to off-the-court pressures like school, social media, and parental expectations.
Plus, we share tips for building trust, creating safe environments, and giving players the freedom to make mistakes and learn. Whether you’re a coach, parent, or player, this episode will help you spot confidence issues early and equip you with tools to turn things around.
