Feed the B.E.A.S.T. | Josiah Igono, Erik Averill | Athlete CEO #61

As athletes, we’ve all heard some variation of “You’ve just got to have confidence,” as if it’s just a switch you haven’t flipped on yet.

But how? You can’t just create confidence out of thin air.

And what does it look like? Is it simply just going out on the field with the belief that you’ll win? Is it carrying yourself with certain body language? Is it surrounding yourself with people who will tell you you’re great? 

To build confidence, you have to first understand exactly what it is. Only then can you focus on building on your own confidence in all areas of your life.

In this episode of Athlete CEO: Peak Performance, Josiah Igono and Erik Averill define confidence, why it’s important, and tangible ways to boost your own confidence level.
