How can I not feel insecure while playing pe in school?
Hey ๐ 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 donโt show it.
๐ 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
๐ 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
๐ If youโre worried about being watched, remember most people are too busy thinking about themselves to be judging anyone else
Confidence doesnโt mean being the fastest or best either, it can just be joining in, trying your best and backing yourself a little more each time ๐ซ
