Episode Summary:

Nicho Hynes has flipped the script. Once criticised for not owning the big moments, the Sharks halfback has shown composure, certainty, and confidence in leading his team through a stunning finals run. In this episode, Ian Hawkins unpacks how Hynes’ transformation highlights the real source of confidence: evidence.

Ian explores how athletes, coaches, and high performers can build belief through a body of evidence, turning self-doubt into self-assurance. Using the Sharks’ resurgence as a case study, he explains why connection, preparation, and identity shift matter as much as mindset, and how those same lessons can help you show up in your own big moments.

Whether you’re chasing success in sport, business, or life, this episode provides practical strategies to build certainty, conquer doubt, and perform under pressure.
