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
