From that difference, it can be seen that there are people who are confident, but there are also people who lack confidence. Because with us lacking in confidence, we will miss the opportunities that exist in this life, such as work. Self-confidence also makes a person nervous, anxious, difficult to interact socially and unable to find self-concept. From the above, as if self-confidence is the root of life because it determines the thoughts and activities that we will do everyday. Self-confidence is influenced by internal factors and external factors. External factors are family environment, friend environment and work. A person's confidence and character influences all aspects of a person's life, such as finance, work, social life and others. Internal factors of lack of confidence are self-concept, self-esteem, and life experience. Confidence (confidence) determines how a person will judge and respect him personally. Self-confidence is a belief in the ability of yourself to achieve something and can accept self-deficiencies so that these deficiencies become a strength in us. Whereas according to Hurlocks, Confidence (self-confidence) is an attitude in someone who can / can accept reality, develop self-awareness, think positively, have independence, & have the ability to have everything that is desired.

There has been limited research published investigating the experiences of the children with a visual impairment in physical activity and sports. The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of children with a visual impairment on their physical self-concept (PSC). A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was employed to investigate the experiences of children with a visual impairment. Qualitative interviews were conducted with six children between 10 and 12 years, followed by a thematic content analysis. Within the framework of the PSC, four themes emerged: (1) adaptations, (2) friends, (3) bullying, and (4) eyes and glasses. Findings suggest that children with a visual impairment despite the occurrence of bullying or lack of adaptations in sports of physical activity are satisfied with their physical self and global self-esteem.

Background: Studies have shown that cancer creates a variety of problems and issues for children with cancer. It creates unique challenges for both the patients and their families. Despite the severe stress associated with these problems, most children are able to adequately cope with and adapt to cancer. However, some of the patients experience more severe or prolonged problems that require psychological support. The present study investigated the needs and coping strategies of Iranian children aged 9 to 13 with cancer. The goal was to determine the needs, concerns and coping strategies in children after being diagnosed with cancer. Methods: For this purpose, 12 children aged 9-13 with cancer as well as their mothers were selected from among children admitted to Mofid hospital. Patient selection was conducted in a purposeful sampling method. Data was collected in an in-depth semi-structured interview with the child and their mother and then analyzed using content analysis method. Results: The content analysis of individual interviews with the child and mother showed that the main concerns of these children were related to the hospital space, support, society, family and educational needs, which were responded to by five distinct types of coping. These coping methods include spiritual coping, admission of support and assistance, visiting relatives (on a regular basis) in a positive manner and negative behaviors such as active and passive aggression and avoiding presence in the community and society. The findings of this study indicate that Iranian children with cancer have special needs some of which have mental and emotional aspects, including worry about being a burden on their families, and they use different coping strategies to cope with their condition. One of the most important means of coping with cancer are family and relatives. Conclusion: Treatment centers should address these factors in order to improve the mental and physical health of their patients.

Sports culture often leads athletes to believe that having an athletic career is akin to “living the dream”. This belief results in a particularly stressful and demoralizing transition from sports to retirement. This research paper sought to further analyze retirement from sports and how one’s athletic identity can be disadvantageous when tied to a short-lived career. The literature was reviewed across the domains of psychology, sports science, and sociology. This review was supplemented with The Art of Life by Zygmunt Bauman and transcribed interviews and surveys of athletes. Athletic identity is more intense and encompassing of one’s self-concept than identities associated with other occupations, which in turn leads to a more emotionally difficult retirement, particularly when forced. Furthermore, athletes with stronger and more exclusive athletic identities may face more psychological difficulties in retirement, and common coping strategies among retiring athletes appear to be maladaptive. The prestige that comes with athleticism can also be disadvantageous, as an athlete may base their self-esteem on momentary fan support. Athletes often foreclose their identity, fixating idealistically on their sport and precluding themselves from pragmatically exploring or developing alternate identities. Athletes must be encouraged to think pragmatically about their future and plan for their post-retirement life while they are playing. Athletes must also have involved support systems that are themselves supported and that the athlete can confide in while constructing a new self-narrative. Therefore, while retirement from sports is undoubtedly difficult, effective strategies in aiding an athlete’s transition do exist and must be utilized.
