Everyone should be advocates for athletes taking care of their spiritual and mental health, maybe even more so than physical health. It's crucial to have belief in your abilities in practices, games, and life.
But what happens when that belief and confidence in yourself turns into something more than that? What if it turns into becoming cocky and leaning too much on your own talents rather than trusting in God’s power, strength, and timing?
Ray Santiago, author, founder of Renewed Mind Performance, Sports Psychology specialist, and former baseball player joins the show again today to talk about building confidence that leans on God’s abilities, not just yours. Along with discussing some principles in his new book, The Pillar B's, his conversation dives into:
- A misconception that athletes have when it comes to believing in themselves
- What/Who Ray would recommend athletes watch or study when trying to gain confidence
- The biggest difference between someone that has confidence and someone that is cocky
- Having confidence that doesn’t turn into cockiness
- How we can have confidence in Jesus over ourselves
