We also talk about how young athletes dream without limits, and what we as adults can learn from that fearless vision. If you’ve ever questioned your next move, wrestled with imposter syndrome, or felt like your dream was too big—this one’s for you.Get ready to be fired up. This isn’t just about sport—it’s about empire-building energy, backing yourself, and going all in before the world even sees what you’re building!
