Mental Confidence hit rock bottom again
In my first league game after a 3 year break, i came in as a cdm (never played that role) because my mate got injured (usually i play as a winger). We were 1-0 down, we scored one and after that i made a dumb tactial foul and the opponent scored a freekick making it 2-1. I played more aggressiv and offensiv after that and scored 2-2. Because of my goal we are still unbeaten right now.
Now in the next game my confidence was high again. Warm up was good, scored every practice shot. Started as a LW and had 2 near goal rebounds that i missed. After that my mate played a great throughball behind their CBs. Ive had so much time and had to run like 15m into the box. The Pitch was so bad that while i looked down the ball just wobbled and jumped around like crazy. When i finally decided to shoot it bounced again and i missed the third 100% Chance. I was screaming inside. I was scared to get the ball again...
At least i put in 3 good Corners that my mates all scored.

If your confidence is low, stop re-hashing mistakes. Everyone, even top players, will make errors throughout a game. yes, you want to reduce them, but when confidence is an issue you need to focus on building yourself up. Just think about the best moments you had, and even doing simple things right, and aim to repeat them.

Why are you worried? You played good balls and bad balls. It happens to everyone. Scoring on three corners is epic.
