About this listen

Mentality is the podcast that dives deep into the mindset of athletes. Hosted by mental performance coach Henrik Hjarsbæk (hhmentality) and professional goalkeeper Alexander Brems, Mentality explores what it really takes to thrive in sports – mentally. Each episode unpacks the real struggles athletes face: performance anxiety, self-doubt, confidence, focus, fear of failure – and much more. Through honest conversations, expert insights, and practical mental tools, we provide athletes with the strategies they need to overcome mental barriers and perform at their best.Henrik Hjarsbaek Football (Soccer)

    Episode 3: This Beats Confidence
    Confidence is great — until it’s gone. So what do you rely on when your confidence disappears?

    In this episode, we explore the deeper layers of mental strength: self-worth and self-esteem.
    We break down the difference between feeling confident and knowing your value — and why athletes who build identity beyond performance stay more stable, focused, and free.

    If confidence comes and goes, your self-worth shouldn’t.

    🎙️ Episode 2: Confidence — More Than a Feeling
    Welcome back to Mentality , the podcast with one simple goal:
    To give you concrete mental tools you can use in your game and your life.

    In this episode, we dive deep into confidence, a word every athlete knows, but few truly understand.
    We unpack the common myths around confidence, why chasing it can sometimes backfire, and how you can build something even stronger: trust in your behavior, not your emotions.

    As always, we explore the theory behind it because to use the tools, you have to know how and why they work.
    Our goal is to support you in becoming the autonomous player. The one who makes the right decisions at the right time.
