In this episode of Building Championship Mindsets, Dr. Amber Selking discusses Play # 3 of the mental performance playbook and what is required to build confidence. She talks about how as we go through life, confidence becomes harder to attain but we can enhance our ability to choose it. Circumstances don’t have to derail our confidence and our confidence level can remain high when we are focused on the process, and not the outcome.  About Building Championship Mindsets Welcome to “Building Championship Mindsets. | the Podcast!” From the LockerRoom to the BoardRoom, our purpose is to help individuals, teams, and organizations understand and leverage the power of Mindset and Leadership to drive results and achieve sustainable performance excellence.  As a leader in the field of sport and performance psychology, Dr. Amber Selking has been fiercely devoted to optimizing human performance in people and systems throughout her entire career.
