1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Welcome to the Inspired Athlete podcast! In today's episode, we’re tackling the &quot;biggest misconception&quot; in sports: the idea that confidence comes from winning. I open up about the &quot;hardest part&quot; of being a coach and parent—watching an athlete struggle when you know they have the talent, but something in their head is &quot;blocking them&quot;. We dive into 2,000-year-old Stoic wisdom, specifically the &quot;dichotomy of control,&quot; to explain why anchoring your self-belief to results like victories or rankings makes your confidence &quot;fragile&quot;. Instead, we talk about building a &quot;stable foundation&quot; based on things you actually own: your preparation, your effort, and your response to adversity. Whether you're an athlete wrestling with doubt or a parent trying to help, it's time to shift your focus from the scoreboard to the choices you make every single day.
