How can I not feel insecure while playing pe in school?

Nutrition & exercise

Hey ๐Ÿ’• PE can feel really full-on, especially if you're feeling a bit unsure about how you look or how you're doing compared to other people.

It's completely normal to feel that way โ€“ lots of people do, even if they donโ€™t show it.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Try focusing more on what your body can do rather than how it looks โ€“ like how strong your legs are for running, or how quickly you recover after a game

๐Ÿ‘‰ Wearing kit that feels comfy and secure can make a big difference โ€“ layers, longer sleeves or a supportive sports bra if you need one

๐Ÿ‘‰ If youโ€™re worried about being watched, remember most people are too busy thinking about themselves to be judging anyone else

Confidence doesnโ€™t mean being the fastest or best either, it can just be joining in, trying your best and backing yourself a little more each time ๐Ÿ’ซ
