Why Confidence Is a Choice, Not a Feeling (w/ Laura Ianello)
About this episode
What if the pressure you feel before a big moment isn't a lack of confidence - it's proof you're alive and engaged?
Most of us wait to feel confident before we act, but elite performers know the truth: confidence isn't a feeling, it's a choice you make through your actions.
In this conversation with Laura Ianello, head women's golf coach at the University of Texas, we explore the practical mental skills that separate those who perform under pressure from those who collapse.
You'll learn a simple four-step protocol to recenter yourself when the stakes are high, why losing can be exciting, and how to build routines that carry you through moments when motivation fails.
