This week a conversation with Dr. Dana Sinclair, Performance Psychologist and author of Dialed In: Do Your Best When It Matters Most. From Olympic champions to a teenager performing in a school play, we all perform, it's part of who we are. Does confidence in ourselves mean that we're going to perform well? As Dana explains, confidence is overrated, it's a feeling, but performance is about what we do. Performance means focusing, being there in the moment. 'Talent will not ensure success without focusing; being there in the pressure moments.' Positive self-talk is a key component to successful performance. And courage is a great word.
