You Don’t Need Affirmations. You Need Evidence.
Confidence isn’t your problem. Your system is.
Most athletes think they need more belief, more motivation, more positive self-talk. So they stand in the mirror repeating affirmations. They blast hype videos. They try to talk themselves into feeling ready.

The Miracle Is That You Exist. The Tragedy Is Wasting It.
You are impossibly rare. Not in some motivational-poster sense, but statistically, biologically, historically rare.
The exact combination of genetic material that became you had roughly a 1 in 400 trillion chance of existing. Your parents had to meet. Their parents had to meet. Going back just ten generations, you required a specific sequence of thousands of people crossing paths, surviving, choosing each other. One different decision in 1823 and you don't exist. One delayed train, one different college, one near-miss during wartime—and the entire genetic lottery reconfigures.
You won an impossibly specific draw. And then you had to show up and actually live it.

That version of you is not loud or flashy. It’s quietly, obsessively committed to your highest standard.

Some conversations change your life. Mine with Dr. Julie Gurner did just that.
Most people wait for life to shock them into changing. A diagnosis, a car accident, a career-ending injury. The perspective hits hard…and then, somehow, behavior goes back to normal. The real separator isn’t who has seen pain; it’s who lets that awareness permanently upgrade how they think, choose, and work.
Here are the quiet levers that kept surfacing in that conversation about courage, fear, pressure, pain, and high performance.
The 10 Life Changing Lessons from My Interview with Sahil Bloom
Some conversations change how you think. This was one of them.
Sahil Bloom thinks differently about success, and after one hour with him, you understand why his ideas spread the way they do. These aren't platitudes dressed up as wisdom. They're frameworks that actually work.
