Question

A teacher/coach provides feedback and encouragement during a time-out. this is an attempt to build self-confidence by using which source of self-confidence?

Answer 1

This source is called past performance.  

Past Performance is the most reliable source of self-confidence. An individual has certain beliefs about his capabilities, so when he view his past performances or experiences as a success  there will be an increase in his self-confidence.  His self-confidence will likely decrease on the other hand if he views it as failures. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Verbal Persuasion

Explanation:

Verbal persuasion is trying to get someone to improve their self efficacy (confidence that one can do a certain activity) by using encouraging words and/or statements. It works best by reminding the person of past successes so as to inspire new ones. The coach is therefore practicing verbal persuasion by encouraging the athlete during the timeout.
