Welcome back to Hashtag RealPod. I'm your host Victoria Garrick and today's episode

I hope will be something different and special for you all. I'm going to be giving you

10 mental skills that you can use right after listening to this to feel more confident

and better about your craft, whatever it is you're going to be performing in and that

you've been preparing for. So whether that's a game or a practice or a meeting, a presentation,

a test, a big conversation with someone, these are skills that I used especially during

my playing career at USC and also in my everyday life when trying to feel better mentally

from. But today I am doing something a little bit different because well two reasons.

school year or you are trying out for a new team and you're wondering how to be confident

for those moments, how to make sure you're going to perform well, you know, when you need

to be at the tryout, at the presentation, how you're going to be clutch. And so I want

to help and give some insight there. And then secondly, I heard an awesome podcast by Andrew

East on his podcast called redirected and it was his 10 tips to his 10 tips to rebuild

in confidence. And I loved it. And I thought that I have 10 tips I want to share with you guys.

Mine are different than his. I think want, I think two are the same. But the other eight

are different things that I've used in volleyball, in school, in my own life to be confident

and feel good in a moment. And like I'm going to dominate. And it's hard to get into a

space where we feel fully 100% good about what we're going to do. And we can trust it's

going to be everything we want it to be, right? So these are going to be my 10 skills
