Episode Details

In this podcast, you will learn pregame exercises you can use to reduce the fear of failure in sports!

When you go into a game afraid to fail, you’re more likely to play timidly and scared. You tiptoe around your performance, terrified of making even the slightest mistake.

But in order for you to perform your best, there needs to be a level of trust that is only present when you accept the possibility of failure, rather than having it be a point of fear.

Failing is scary, there is not denying that fact. It can mean embarrassment, the loss of a starting role, or you not attaining future goals. 

However, failure is also a teacher. One that highlights areas of your game that need improvement.

Failure, much like all things in life, can be viewed in multiple ways. Fearing failure is one of the worst ways you adopt, but one that is very real for many athletes.

So, if you struggle with the fear of failure, don’t worry because you’re definitely not alone. 

And by the end of this episode, you will have pregame exercises you can use to reduce fear of failure heading into competition.
