We dive into two intertwined stories:

1. The person who lifted you in confidence and how their belief in you shaped your path.
2. The moment you lifted someone else and how your encouragement changed their trajectory.

It’s a conversation about influence, impact, and the way confidence moves through relationships like a relay baton. When one person hands it forward, the next person runs differently.

What We Explore in This Episode

• The subtle ways confidence is transferred — often without grand gestures.
• How a single moment of belief can shift someone’s identity, choices, and courage.
• Why lifting others doesn’t diminish you it expands you.
• How to recognise the people who have shaped your confidence story.

Key Insights
Confidence is rarely self‑generated; it’s co‑created.
The person who lifts you often doesn’t realise the magnitude of their impact.
Encouraging someone else strengthens your own sense of purpose and leadership.
Confidence is contagious and it travels further than you think.
When you lift someone, you also lift your own standards, identity, and integrity.

Why This Episode Matters
We often underestimate the power of a single encouraging moment. This episode reminds us that confidence is a shared resource one that grows every time it’s given away. By recognising the people who lifted us, we deepen gratitude. By noticing who we lift, we strengthen our identity as leaders, mentors, and role models.

Because when you are trusting decisions in sport - everything starts to shift.

• You move better.
• You hesitate less.
• You stop second-guessing and start playing with presence, power, and purpose.

But trusting decisions in sport doesn’t always come easily.

• It gets blocked by overthinking.
• By the fear of making the wrong call.

What Happens When You Don't Trust Decisions in Sport?

• Trust gets blocked.
• You fear of being wrong.
• There is pressure to be perfect.
• That inner voice says, “What if I stuff up?”

In this episode it will help you:

1. Reconnect with your inner yes.
2. Let go of second-guessing.
3. Build confidence in the moment.
4. Perform with clarity, not comparison.

Because sport isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. And your decisions, when made with trust, become part of you performing better when you perform in your sport.

** Affirmation of the Episode**
"My body knows. My experience speaks. I trust it."

This episode invites you to pause, create awareness, reflect and progress. Because confidence isn’t found in comparison it’s built in the doing, the showing up, and the messy magnificent moments of growth.

What We Explore:
1. Comparison
When you compare yourself to others, whether it’s speed, skill, experience, or appearance, you shift your focus outward. Instead of tuning into your own rhythm, you start chasing someone else’s. This drains your energy, disrupts your flow, and makes your performance feel like a test instead of a celebration.
What it steals: Presence, joy, and your unique pace.

2. Fear of Judgment
The fear that others are watching, critiquing, or measuring you creates a mental spotlight effect. You become hyper-aware, self-conscious, and hesitant. This fear can freeze your instincts, mute your voice, and make you play small even when you’re capable of more.
What it steals: Confidence, spontaneity, and boldness.

3. Perfectionism
Perfectionism convinces you that anything less than flawless isn’t worthy. But sport is messy. Growth is nonlinear. Waiting for perfection delays action, silences effort, and keeps you from showing up fully.
What it steals: Momentum, experimentation, and self-compassion.

** Affirmation of the Episode**
"I am here to play, I am not here to prove."
