In this sports psychology podcast, Dr. Cohn helps an athlete who thinks he is not playing to the best of his abilities and battling expectations from people around him. Here is the question, Dr. Cohn answers in this episode:

OSCAR: "I started my junior season of high school basketball. I haven't been playing well. It feels like there's too big of a wall in the way of me getting to where I want to be. My confidence is very low. I struggle with feeling like a letdown or that I'm disappointing people around me. I've always been told how good I can be, but I'm not really meeting those expectations, nowhere close to meeting them. Anything you could do to help me?"
