Catching Confidence What is confidence? Stand Up If you Feel Confident Enough.....! Confidence is a belief in one’s own abilities to do something in a specific situation Whilst you perceive yourself to have a certain level of confidence this can vary at different times and in different situations. You can gain confidence in particular skills as you learn but could still remain less confident of this skill depending on the situation.
