It's not a realistic expectation to expect a first year team to go out and win every game. Underconfidence is when if you think you'll win about 3 games, you end up winning about 3 games, even though you had the ability to do what you didn't think you would do. The point is not to win games, it's not to start a habit of defeating yourself early when really you have the ability to go further with a little more confidence at the times you would usually lose confidence. If you're playing to win, you're going to fear failure and feel like you have to win, but if you're just going out and working on the things you're rusty at, trying to do what you didn't do last week or yesterday, not giving up on yourself, and the work you're doing is always in progress and never finished, you have room to improve anything you want to improve.
Underconfidence can get you stuck somewhere you wouldn't be stuck at a time when your confidence level wasn't as low. Allowing yourself a little room not to fail but not being afraid to fail can sometimes make a difference in how something you do turns out. You won't expect to always fail every time that way, even if you don't expect to do a good job at something.

The point isn't to be a stupid fuckin hero on a piece of cardboard, no matter what an announcer thinks you have to be, it's to not feel like you have to be anything but who you are, no more no less.
