    #120 Locker Room Mindset: One Bad Game Can Ruin Your Season—Unless You Do This

    One bad game can quietly ruin your season — not because you lost confidence, but because you lost trust in yourself. If you’ve been replaying mistakes, hesitating in games, or feeling disconnected from your instincts, this episode is urgent. Most athletes try to “get their confidence back” after a bad performance. That’s the wrong focus. Confidence comes and goes. Self-trust is what determines whether you spiral… or bounce back stronger. In this episode, we break down: The real difference between confidence and trusting yourself Why bad games shake athletes so deeply (sports psychology explained) How to review mistakes without judging or destroying your mindset The daily actions that rebuild self-trust step by step What elite athletes do mentally after failure to reset fast This isn’t motivation. It’s performance psychology, backed by research and real athlete behavior. 🎧 Stay until the end — the final mental reset is what separates athletes who spiral from those who level up.
