Episode notes

Confidence doesn't come from words, it comes from accumulated skills. I like to have my athletes work with athletes who are lesser than themselves in ability. For the other guys, it's getting a clear assessment of what their current skill level is by going against the best there is. And so the mental preparation came out of those physical underpinnings.
