Why Confidence is Overrated | Shawnee Harle on Mental Toughness (Part 2)
In Part 2 of our interview with Olympic coach and mental toughness expert Shawnee Harle, we dive deeper into the psychology of sports:
- Why confidence is overrated and the real difference between confidence and self-esteem
- How athletes can replace the “voice of fear” with their “voice of courage”
- What bench players should really be learning when they’re not on the court
- Why coaches must face their deepest fear — losing — before they can build long-term toughness in their athletes
- How measuring courage (instead of just stats) transforms team culture
This episode will challenge the way you think about confidence, failure, and development as a coach, parent, or player.
