In this episode, I explain three common reasons athletes are so hard on themselves:

1. They believe being hard on themselves motivates them.
2. They do not want to make the same mistake again.
3. They believe criticizing themselves proves how much they care.

I also discuss how athletes can learn from mistakes and hold themselves accountable without relying on constant self-criticism.
