QUESTION: sorry andrew, Its my confidence, its so low , i dont have it to play, becuz of the pressure my dad puts on me,becuase of what other people say,
what can I do to have a high confidence?

Answer
OK, your challenge....Sit down w/ you dad & tell him you wish to talk seriously about something.  Also speak in private w/ your coach.  Express your views, respecfully, & fully.  Ask them for their help not critical words....

Explain to them you wish to excel & succeed but you need their professionalism, guidance, & leadership.....

Good luck, Andy
