In this episode, Brian and Josh discussed the role of identity and self-image on tennis and performance. The co-hosts examined the connection between identity, behavior and feelings, and differentiated between two pathways and the consequences of each. The two pathways are 1) starting with developing our identity which leads to certain behaviors and feelings vs. 2) starting with our feelings in a situation which leads to certain actions and identity as more of an afterthought rather than a priority.
