About this episode
This episode explores the importance of self-worth and self-esteem in athletes, emphasizing the distinction between confidence and knowing one's value.
Episode 3: This Beats Confidence Confidence is great — until it’s gone. So what do you rely on when your confidence disappears? In this episode, we explore the deeper layers of mental strength: self-worth and self-esteem . We break down the difference between feeling confident and knowing your value — and why athletes who build identity beyond performance stay more stable, focused, and free. If confidence comes and goes, your self-worth shouldn’t.
