This is one of the intangibles of physical fitness training, yet one of the most important aspects that we, as athletes, could ever hope to garner. This confidence allows us to do well in our chosen sports, helps us through our daily physical challenges; and more importantly... the lack thereof hinders the everyday Joe and forces them into a life of physical distress.
One simple fact: our aging generations, generally, fear breaking a hip or otherwise simply lack the motor development to lift an object of any size over their head. You used to only see this in advanced age, but it has become more common in younger generations, even starting as young as 45. If you know someone who is starting to suffer from an obvious lack of physical confidence, offer to go walking with them, get them involved with a local swimming program, somehow get physical activity back into their lives. It will enrich both of your lives.
In younger generations, it is a faltering physical confidence that makes you take a look at a physical feat, such as a CrossFit workout, and say "that's crazy, I could never do that". I argue to say " You just don't know you can do it".
