Are you saying that "你要相信你自己" is grammatically incorrect?
I like your version, but I would have thought it was okay with or without the second "你". Certainly "你自己" itself is an extremely common phrase, as far as I can tell.

Yes, it is technically incorrect but definitely commonly used. Many 语病 has its source in commonly used phrases, actually.
It's a bit redundant I guess? Tho I wouldn't mark it wrong, it reads more of you need to believe in yourself (which is stronger in nature)
No. At best that's "You yourself have to believe" (i.e., it's not enough that others believe), though for that we might also say "你自己要相信".
But a close approximation of Duo's sentence is perhaps "你要有自信（心）", "You have to have self-confidence". Native speakers, is this correct?
