Whether you're giving or receiving feedback as an athlete, understanding how to harness the power and opportunity it provides is so important to growing and excelling to that next level.

We need to address our mindset of fear when it comes to getting feedback. This means confronting the idea that others don't see you, the way you see yourself. Getting feedback can make you feel exposed and take you out of your comfort zone. There is a natural resistance to feedback, not wanting to get tough feedback because then you have to change, adjust, and adapt.

I want to challenge your mindset around feedback by proclaiming, Feedback can bring joy! The possibility of becoming someone different, changing into something new, or evolving something preexisting, is a great opportunity!

This episode will cover how to handle receiving feedback, confidently advocating for yourself, and how to give feedback to teammates and friends.

What is your comfort zone exactly? Your comfort zone can be defined by a place you feel comfortable, but your abilities are not being tested, or a place where you don't do anything new or different, aka not going outside your routine.

Having a routine to your life makes you feel comfortable and in control. Leaving that is often associate with a loss of control and feelings of discomfort. What I want you to know is having your core routine and doing the things that make you - you, is crucial! If you have a strong routine and are in touch with those core values that make up who you are as an athlete, then you can start to expand your comfort zone to include new things that help you continue to grow, discover new passions, and reach higher levels of performance.

Let me teach you 5 ways to expand your comfort zone, and discuss why expanding vs. leaving your comfort zone is the best way to chase success.

Perfectionism is:

~ Procrastination, not being able to start or perform a task unless you can do it perfectly

~ Viewing the end outcome as the most important part of any task or routine

~ Finding fault and being overly critical with mistakes

Perfectionism leaves no room for failure, there is no plan b or "what if" options. It's why focusing on being perfect is often short lived because you crash under pressure, fear of failure, or insecurity.

Consistency can be thought of as growth overall, long term vision. Consistency plans for human nature, which is failure and things not going to plan. This focus is more on the journey, more on the long term places you want to be. Long-term being relative, it could be months or years in the future, its really up to you to determine.

This is the growth mindset that I want you to work on. Having this mindset of consistency over perfection is one facet of an overall state of confidence

Calibrate your current and future self

Consider the athlete you are today, list 5 attributes you are proud of yourself for having...

Consider the athlete you want to be, the next version of yourself, list 5 attributes that version of yourself will have...

Use this insight on how you want to personally grow, so when you're feeling critical because what you saw someone else doing, you have something to go back to and say 'I know I'm growing because this is what I envision and this is who I'm becoming'. You'll have the confidence to break down your perfectionism, because your standards are set on your growth, not determined by what you see around you.

Instead of saying "I'm not (strong, fast, flexible...) enough", say:

Instead of saying "but what will they (parents, coaches, teammates...) think", say:

Instead of not trying and not forgiving yourself, say:

You are not responsible for your thoughts of doubt, but you are capable of changing the narrative and the thoughts that follow
