What if the pressure you feel before a big moment isn't a lack of confidence - it's proof you're alive and engaged?
Most of us wait to feel confident before we act, but elite performers know the truth: confidence isn't a feeling, it's a choice you make through your actions.
In this conversation with Laura Ianello, head women's golf coach at the University of Texas, we explore the practical mental skills that separate those who perform under pressure from those who collapse.
You'll learn a simple four-step protocol to recenter yourself when the stakes are high, why losing can be exciting, and how to build routines that carry you through moments when motivation fails.

| 0:45.5 | mentally demanding sports in the world, and you can sub-mentally demanding with mildly infuriating, |
| 0:52.0 | if you so chose. Every shot matters, mistakes compound, and unlike most sports, |
| 0:57.0 | you're not competing against an opponent that is across from you. You are competing against |

| 1:23.3 | high-stakes environments where mistakes feel like they compound instantly. Whether you're an entrepreneur, |
