Practice and experience. You play like you practice. If you practice well and often you should be confident. Experience also can teach you which plays to use and how to read your opponent.

Notice what you do well in training and matches. Remember these successful decisions and executions. Then recall these memories and actions to help boost confidence and set up better actions in your next match/training sessions. Accept that you won't play perfectly and that you will not always execute well. Choose to take some risk, try and experiment. Remember that you are more than your last touch of the ball, training session or match.

I have used a mental warmup before or after tactics:
Everyone lays down on the floor with their feet on the chair and eyes closed.
Firstly they think of match situations which they are succesful - fx. what do they do on set pieces. In the end you tell them that they should think of:
I can win, i can win, i can win etc.
I want to win, i want to win etc

I have been succesful by using this method before important games !!
