Watch and learn from current Western Kentucky soccer player, Kenlee Newcom on how to create confidence.
Here are some of the things that really stuck with me after our conversation:
🔸 How she leans on faith to be confident...
- If you build your confidence on something shaky, it's going to waver. If it's in Christ or truth, then you will be confident all the time in that.
🔸What she does to feel confident in games...
- Pre-Game Routine: Pray for Him to help me not think, let go of my thoughts. Listen to worship music.
- During Game: Thinking about how this is a game you've played for so long, just play!
🔸How Kenlee bounces back from mistakes...
- Have a short-term memory and choose to think something different to let it go!
🔸Important advice for athletes from Kenlee...
- Don't be afraid to do the work.
- Don't worry about what everyone else thinks. Be different.
- Be where your feet are.
- Your mental health is just as important as your physical health.
- Focus on what you can control instead of what you can't control.
- If you want something, go get it!
Kenlee's favorite Bible verse...
Romans 5:3
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance.
We have so much to learn from Kenlee! I love her drive, her humility, her passion to share Christ. I can’t wait to continue to see how she shines! Thanks Kenlee!!
