About this episode
This episode explores the concept of confidence in sports, debunking myths and emphasizing the importance of trust in one's behavior.
🎙️ Episode 2: Confidence — More Than a Feeling Welcome back to Mentality , the podcast with one simple goal: To give you concrete mental tools you can use in your game and your life. In this episode, we dive deep into confidence, a word every athlete knows, but few truly understand. We unpack the common myths around confidence, why chasing it can sometimes backfire, and how you can build something even stronger: trust in your behavior, not your emotions. As always, we explore the theory behind it because to use the tools, you have to know how and why they work. Our goal is to support you in becoming the autonomous player. The one who makes the right decisions at the right time. Henrik Hjarsbæk at @hhmentality.com Alexander Brems at @thedanishgk
