Coaching Confidence

Coaching Confidence

By David Birtwistle

Confidence comes from knowledge, achievement and repetition but first we need to talk about the things to get the knowledge.
Each week I discuss a multitude of elements, all of which contribute to our overall confidence.
Mentality, training, nutrition, masculinity, vulnerability, relationships and mindset.
Most of the topics come as direct questions from followers of my Instagram account, so if you have a topic or question you would like to discuss follow @david.birtwistle and let me know.
