Summary
Today we go through what we learned at our Wisconsin Camp this last weekend. We look at things like the "walking the plank effect" and how to build confidence by just showing up. We get into how we all crave validation, but sometimes it's hard when training alone. We touch on how social media can ignite lingering anxiety. We talk about illness and how to conquer fears of the unknown. We all need emotional re-charges in this sport and why stepping out of your comfort zone is often the best place to do it. Anxiety is energy, it's up to us to transform that into confidence and excitement.
