#336 West Point Director of Performance Dr. Nate Zinsser on How to Create a Confident Mind

January 24, 2022 By Jim Harshaw

West Point Director of Performance, Dr. Nate Zinsser (Success Through Failure episode 336: West Point Director of Performance Dr. Nate Zinsser on How to Create a Confident Mind) They say, “Confidence is key.” What exactly can confidence unlock in your life? How far can your confidence take you?

Dr. Nate Zinsser is the Director of the Performance Psychology Program at the United States Military Academy at West Point— the most comprehensive mental training program in the country. Since 1992, he has helped prepare cadets for leadership in the U.S. Army.

He has been the sport-psychology mentor for elite athletes, including two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning and the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers, as well as many Olympians and NCAA champions.

Dr. Zinsser has also been a consultant for the FBI Academy, U.S. Army Recruiting Command, and the Fire Department of New York.

He recently released his book, “The Confident Mind,” which offers a fascinating guide to the science of confidence and provides readers with a step-by-step program to best harness their belief in themselves to achieve success.

Listen in as Dr. Zinsser takes us into a deep dive to the power of confidence: how to achieve it, how to leverage it, and how it can help you reach success despite— and because of— failure. Tune in now!
