What does this mean? It’s the player who is the best at what they do and they know it. But the difference is you can’t tell when talking to or watching how this player carries themselves that they are the best. When they hit a home run, they simply put the bat down and run the bases (think Lance Berkman). When they make a great play in the field, they don’t have a huge grin on their face, they simply hold their hand up to let everyone know how many outs there is (think Derek Jeter). When they strike someone out, they get the ball back with a straight face, step on the rubber and wait for the next batter to step in the box (think Justin Verlander).
These are all forms of quiet confidence. Lets be real though: there are moments that emotion can, and will, show. A big moment in the game or winning a championship for example.
A player with self confidence has self control. This player always has the upper hand once they step on the field. If he’s a pitcher, he knows exactly how he is going to get you out. You better believe that when he does, you won’t see a reaction. He will act like its just another day at the office. Do you have “Quiet Confidence?”
