231 The Relationship Between Self Esteem, Fun and Football Performance

In the second of 3 episodes created for parents of young people who play football I carry on the conversation about enjoyment on the football pitch.  Where on this occasion I introduce the relationship between enjoyment in football, the impact of playing poorly, performance levels and self-esteem.   I go on to discuss what self esteem is, what you could expect from someone with high self-esteem and factors that can contribute to low self-esteem.  In addition, I touch on life control and "having a can-do attitude", a measure of mental toughness that is connected with self-esteem, and the complexities surrounding self-esteem at a young age.  You can also expect some helpful advice on how to help young footballers who face this challenge and struggle with feelings of low self-esteem.
