595 | The Perfectionism Ceiling: Why Elite Athletes Hit a Wall—and How to Break Through


Listen Later

Constant self-criticism. Always pushing but never satisfied. Loss of joy. Sound familiar? For athletes stuck in a cycle of perfectionism, the game stops being fun and starts feeling like too much pressure. You see it in their body language, their mindset, and their results.

As a mental performance coach, you need the tools to help athletes shift out of perfectionism and into a healthier relationship with performance and mistakes. In this episode, I share two proven strategies to guide them out of their perfectionist mental prisons and get back to enjoying their sport again.

These methods will not only create lasting mindset shifts, but also get buy-in from athletes who resist change and fear losing their edge. Listen in for new ways to help your athletes play free and break the cycle of perfectionism!

 

Topics discussed:

  • Why perfectionism is common in athletes
  • Strategy 1: the logical approach
  • Strategy 2: the emotional approach
  • Tools and tips for shifting mindset
  • How to get athlete buy-in without overwhelm
