And surrender is so hard, especially when you're talented.

But at that moment, I felt like I had nothing.

And so to surrender nothing is much easier than to surrender a lot.

You've got a successful life.

It's very hard to surrender.

But that's the key.

Surrender your little power for the power of the universe.

Yeah, that's a great question because what happens to most people, especially young athletes, is they have this confusion.

Like, I know that for me to achieve my goals in sports, I need to be confident.

And so does that mean I need to talk about myself?

Do I need to be brash and boastful?

I had this great conversation with a major league all-star a year and a half ago.

I said, pro athletes, they come to me because they want confidence.

And that's great.

Confidence is super helpful.

But there's something even more powerful than confidence, and that's being fully present.

I said...

If you have two athletes or performers that are the same talent, I'll take the fully present person over the fully confident one every single time.

Because when you're confident, you can get careless.

And just look at how many times someone that's super confident goes into a performance and they don't perform great.
