In Deep with Olivia Smoliga
Join us for Season 2 of In Deep - our podcast space where Olivia sits down with Olympians, coaches, and high performers for real conversations about what it actually takes — inside the sport and out.
New episodes drop every other Tuesday.
External Validation vs. Internal Worth
This episode reframes success as a process rooted in intrinsic motivation, consistency, and self-trust rather than proof or praise. Athletes are invited to shift from a mindset of deservingness to one of worthiness—where feedback informs growth, outcomes are not taken personally, and confidence remains steady regardless of results.
