I need a latin translation for the phrase always believe in yourself. I have "semper confido in vestri" I know confido or puto would mean "I beleive" so I need it to mean just 'believe' and I am not sure if I have vestri in the right case for this or not. any help would be appreciated. Then I would probably email it to my latin teacher for a double check.

Semper crede tibi
Credo (and confido also) take the dative when "believe in" is the translation. Here the word "in" is included in the verb, so you would not translate it with the preposition. You would then need to use the reflexive pronoun, not the personal pronoun.
However, I am a bit confused as to why you put vestri in the plural, and in the genitive case. You used the preposition in, which takes the ablative case. I suspect that you got that from one of those horrible online translators.

Jeannie's is dead on. 'Credere' used as 'believe in' takes a noun/pronoun in dative case and cannot be used with a preposition + object.
For the verbs you had, 'puto' is not a good choice. One of its meanings is given as 'believe', but that is not 'believe' in the general sense you want. 'Confido' would work if you wanted to say 'Always have confidence in yourself' - a little different from what you wanted.

" In te (ipsum) semper confide" (sing) or
" In vos (ipsos) semper confidite" (plur.)
If you want translate "Always believe in yourself" that's a kind of a command, an invitation and hence you must use the verb at the Imperative tense. Also it can be either addressed to a single person or to more people.
In this context the preposition "in" agrees with the accusative and the pronouns "tu" and "vos" at the accusative are "te" and "vos".
Ipsum and ipsos (accusative of ipse) are translating "self" but are not strictly necessary for the understanding.
