Imposter syndrome hits almost every athlete when they step into entrepreneurship.

The mistake? Thinking you need to fake confidence.

You don't.

The answer is to stay coachable.

In sports, you relied on coaches to help you improve. Business is no different. Find mentors. Ask questions. Accept feedback. Then put your head down and do the work.

Confidence isn't something you pretend to have. It's something you earn through repetition, experience, and growth.

If you're waiting to "feel ready," you'll be waiting a long time. Start anyway, keep learning, and let your results build your confidence.
