Parents who prioritize boosting their kids' confidence are "setting them up for a lifetime of success," says mental performance coach Cindra Kamphoff.

After being the standard of aggression for nearly two years, we see Cindra Living Legend out of Classic Constructed.

How do you build confidence when the voice in your head keeps telling you that you’re not good enough? In this episode, Osher Gunsberg is joined by performance psychologist and mental performance coach Dr Cindra Kamphoff, author of 'The Confidence Habit' and executive performance coach to some of the world's most successful athletes, to explore why even highly successful people can struggle with self-doubt, harsh self-talk and the fear of making mistakes. Cindra has worked with NFL players and members of the U.S. track and field team, helping them develop the mental skills to perform under pressure. But the lessons she shares aren't just for athletes—they're for anyone who has ever questioned themselves, replayed a mistake or felt like they should be doing better. Cindra explores the difference between our “inner critic” and our “inner coach”, and how learning to recognise and challenge negative thoughts can fundamentally change the way we see ourselves. She also shares practical tools for dealing with self-doubt, including her “truth meter” and three questions designed to help determine whether the stories we tell ourselves are actually true. She also explains why confidence isn't something you're simply born with, but a skill that can be developed, and how to recover from mistakes without allowing them to define your next performance, using her powerful “learn, burn, return” approach. From changing negative self-talk to letting go of past failures and learning to trust yourself, this is a practical conversation about turning self-doubt into self-belief and developing the confidence to move forward—even when you don't feel confident. *Links:* ▪️Get 'The Confidence Habit' and bonus resources: https://www.confidencetools.com ▪️More from Cindra: https://cindrakamphoff.com/ ▪️Follow Cindra on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cindrakamphoff *More from Osher:* 🎙 Better Than Yesterday podcast: https://tinyurl.com/BTYpodcast 📬 Sign up to the Better Than Yesterday newsletter: https://makeitbetterthanyesterday.kit.com/7d9d18dcee 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/osher_gunsberg 📖 Books: https://linktr.ee/osher_gunsberg 📺 Story Club on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@storyclublive 🎟️ Story Club tickets: https://linktr.ee/osher_gunsberg 00:00:00 Mindset in High-Level Athletics 00:03:22 Is Confidence Inherent or Developed? 00:06:01 Defining the 4 Pillars of Confidence 00:07:40 Managing High Pressure in the NFL 00:11:22 Past, Present, and Future Mindsets 00:13:26 The "Learn, Burn, Return" Strategy 00:18:20 Action Precedes Confident Feelings 00:20:44 Alter Egos and Pretending Confidence 00:24:32 Confidence Versus Arrogance 00:26:12 Taming the Inner Critic with Truth 00:31:33 Words that Build or Break Confidence 00:33:48 Process Goals vs. Outcome Goals 00:37:31 Supporting the Confidence of Young Adults 00:42:00 Practical Tools for Everyday Self-Belief #podcast #betterthanyesterday #oshergunsberg #selfimprovement
