In this episode, the Desi—a mental strength coach—discusses the crucial role of mental stamina and self-confidence for college athletes, using the “chicken or the egg” analogy to explore whether confidence or winning comes first.

Desi shares a piece of her personal story, coaching tips, and highlight the difference between confidence (external validation) and self-confidence (internal belief).

The episode emphasizes that true, sustainable performance comes from nurturing self-confidence, not relying on wins or praise, and introduces Dan Sullivan’s “Four C’s of Confidence” as a practical framework for growth.
