I don't disagree, but I do think there is some nuance. I think of Khabib's quote, "You have to think of yourself as the best fighter in the world. The first person who can believe in you is you. After that, it can be your coach, parents, etc”... he goes on to say that is the only way you can succeed, because the pressure and stakes are so high. He does also commonly reference humility as well, "Sometimes when people become... 'I'm this, I can do this. I'm smart because I'm strong.' God always going to make you humble."...which makes me think of balance, or probably closer paradox, holding both beliefs in your head to the max. I also think of Williams James' overbelief.
