Confidence

A belief in self worth and ability to perform in movement and physical activity.

Confidence

What it could look like:

  • Showing a degree of certainty and assuredness
  • Willing to try new movements or physical activities
  • Showing resilience and maintaining a sense of self-belief after experiencing a set back e.g. returning from injury, losing a game

Pre-foundational - Stage 0

I have the potential to learn through movement and physical activity.  At this stage I have not yet developed relevant attitudes and emotions associated with myself, and movement and physical activity.

Foundation & Exploration - Stage 1

Derives feelings of competence and self-worth derived from movement and physical activity.

  • Willing to try new movements or physical activities
  • Experiencing positive outcomes from participating in movement activities e.g. increased confidence

Acquisition & Accumulation - Stage 2

Builds on feelings of competence and self-worth through participation in movement and physical activity.

  • Having belief in own capabilities when participating in movement and physical activity
  • Displaying a positive response or showing resilience after a defeat or poor performance

Consolidation & Mastery - Stage 3

Demonstrates, develops and maintains resilient feelings of competence and self-worth during movement and physical activity.

  • Embracing challenges and identifying strategies to maintain feelings of competency and worth
  • Feelings of confidence are unaffected by potentially negative experiences. e.g. critical feedback, deselection in a team

Transfer & Empowerment - Stage 4

I am empowered by movement and physical activity.  I continually transfer my skills, knowledge and feelings to different movement and physical activity contexts.  I use combinations of elements from all four domains, and apply my learnings through movement and physical activity to other aspects of my life.

  • Persevering with a fitness class even though there are many reasons you could find not to (e.g. work/study deadlines). You know that you will be engaged in the activity when you get there, and that you will recognise the benefits to your fitness and your mental health after the class. You sign up for some of the popular but more intense lunchtime sessions as you feel these will motivate you to maintain your goals. You also think that you could encourage some colleagues and friends to join, as you think they would feel welcome at the class.
