What this self-check measures

This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “Getting subbed off means he doesn't trust me”, including the private rule underneath it: If I come off, it means I’ve lost the coach’s confidence and someone else has taken my place in the pecking order. The sub is treated as evidence about trust, not just a game decision, so every change on the field gets read as a ranking.

QUIET

Quiet signal

“Getting subbed off means he doesn't trust me” appears, but it rarely gets the final say. Keep this line available for higher-pressure moments: “A sub is one decision in one game, not a verdict on me.”

PRESENT

Present in the background

“Getting subbed off means he doesn't trust me” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “His minutes help the team; they don’t erase my role.”

ACTIVE

Active pattern

“Getting subbed off means he doesn't trust me” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: Right after your next training session, sketch a simple two-line note: first line, what led to the sub or rotation; second line, the story your mind attached to it. Keep it private and stop at two lines.

DOMINANT

Getting the final word
