In the sixth and final episode of The War Within, Erin Herle discusses a topic you probably all came here to learn: self-confidence.  Building on the foundation established in the earlier five episodes, Erin begins by defining self-confidence as trusting oneself and emphasizing the importance of authenticity over superficiality. Erin explains how past failures, perfectionism, and negative self-talk can trigger self-doubt, while highlighting strategies to build confidence, such as focusing on controllable aspects of performance and cultivating resilience. We also discuss the role of coaches and training environments, the importance of self-reflection, celebrating personal progress, and fostering supportive environments for growth.
