Respect for others

 

Definition:

 

Self respect is the ability to value the contribution you make to your own or teams performance and feel a sense of achievement from what is produced. This also applies to how you value the contribution of others within the team.

 

Impact on Performance:

 

If you over or under value the way you feel this can have an effect on how you play. If you have a low level of self respect you will feel you are unable to make a meaningful contribution to the team. You may not make yourself available for passes or involve yourself within the game. This will have an impact if you lack respect for others as you will not allow your team to play to their full potential.

 

During or after a game in basketball, when a player knows they have performed well in both attack and defence they feel good. Identifying that your strong defence has helped prevent numerous baskets gives you confidence and shows that you understand your role in the game.

 

If you do not feel valued as a player you will have a real lack of confidence and belief in your ability to contribute to the team and game. If this is how you feel during a game then you will not have the courage to play well. It will become a focus in your mind as you play the game and when you make mistakes it will impact on your negative feeling further.
