About this listen
Andy Whittier knows how to cope with pressure.
He transitioned from playing college football to representing the U.S. in the skeleton sport, a solo, head-first sled race down an icy track at speeds of up to 89 mph.
At first, it was terrifying, he said. But with constant practice, he started making some "good, fast clean runs" and building confidence.
Athletes can build confidence gradually through experience, discipline and stacking small wins over time. Repetition and practice are key, he said.
