Ep 327 Borrow Confidence From Your Best Moments — The Power of Mental Recall

What do you do when your confidence disappears? Most athletes try to create confidence in the middle of competition—but elite performers do something different. They reconnect with confidence they've already earned. In this episode of Today Matters, Coach Steve Pinkston explores one of the most effective mental imagery techniques: mental recall. You'll learn how intentionally replaying your best performances strengthens confidence, calms anxiety, and reminds your brain what success feels like. Discover why confidence isn't something you wait to feel—it's something you train through memory, preparation, and repetition. Whether you're in a slump, returning from injury, preparing for a championship, or simply trying to become more consistent, this episode will show you how to borrow confidence from your past to fuel your future.
