Grow the Good

The Paradox of Expectations, Pressure, and Comparison in Sport and Life

Have you ever achieved a goal and felt empty? Therein lies the paradox. We need to have expectations, but how do you set realistic and appropriate expectations that provide enough stimulus for motivation and performance, but also enough space for happiness and life satisfaction?

In this week's podcast, Sonya deep dives into:

  • The trajectory of expectations
  • Expectations of ourselves
  • Expectations FROM others
  • Expectations OF others
  • The pressure created from expectations
  • The difference between goals and expectations
  • What to do about it
