When Doubt Walks In Before You Do

 Confidence doesn’t always walk through the door with you.

Some days, doubt gets there first.

You know the days I’m talking about—when your body feels heavy, your mind races, and you can’t tell if you’re tired or just mentally drained. Those days when the uniform fits the same, but you feel like a different person inside it.

I’ve lived that version of the game.
Injured. Burned out. Wondering if my teammates saw what I was feeling—or worse, if they didn’t. I started second-guessing everything: my mechanics, my role, even whether I loved the game anymore.

And let me be real with you:

Confidence doesn’t always roar. Sometimes, it whispers.
Sometimes, it shows up in the quiet decision to keep going anyway.

That’s what I teach now.

When I founded DR3 Fastpitch, it wasn’t from a place of perfect clarity. It was from a place of remembering how it felt to be unsure, unseen, and unheard. I wanted to create space for pitchers not just to train, but to be rebuilt—from the inside out.

If you’re in that space right now, listen up:

You don’t have to feel unshakable to be brave.
You don’t have to be on fire to show up.

Confidence is a choice—repeated over time.
And the more you choose to stay in it, the more you remember who you are.
