On this mental minute, I get transparent and talk about one of the biggest limiting factors of my career as a player also at times as a coach - Self Induced Pressure

Self-induced pressure can arise from various factors and personal circumstances. Here are a few common reasons why someone might experience self-induced pressure:

1. High Expectations: Setting excessively high standards for oneself can create self-imposed pressure. Whether it's related to academic performance, career success, personal relationships, or other areas of life, the fear of not meeting these expectations can generate significant pressure.
2. Perfectionism: Striving for perfection in everything one does can lead to self-imposed pressure. The constant pursuit of flawlessness and the fear of making mistakes can create a significant burden and cause stress and anxiety.
3. Fear of Failure: The fear of failure can be a powerful driver of self-imposed pressure. The desire to avoid disappointment, judgment, or negative consequences can result in self-imposed expectations and a constant feeling of pressure to succeed.
4. Comparison to Others: Comparing oneself to others and feeling the need to measure up to their achievements or perceived successes can generate self-induced pressure. The pressure arises from the belief that one must match or exceed the accomplishments of others, leading to feelings of inadequacy and a constant need to prove oneself.
5. Time Constraints: Limited timeframes or deadlines can contribute to self-induced pressure. When there is a perceived lack of time to complete tasks or meet goals, individuals may put excessive pressure on themselves to perform quickly and efficiently.
6. Self-Imposed Responsibilities: Taking on too many responsibilities or placing unnecessary burdens on oneself can result in self-induced pressure. Whether it's trying to please everyone, overcommitting to tasks, or assuming additional obligations, the pressure can build as the individual tries to juggle numerous responsibilities simultaneously.
7. External Validation: Relying on external validation for self-worth and self-esteem can lead to self-induced pressure. When one's sense of worth is tied solely to external recognition or approval, the constant need to prove oneself and seek validation can create significant pressure.
