We’re exploring the intense pressures faced by athletes during major competitions like the Olympics and CrossFit Games.
We examine the importance of embracing imperfection, maintaining a flow state, and focusing on character over circumstances.
We emphasize how these principles are not only pivotal for athletes but for anyone striving for excellence while battling the allure of perfectionism in today’s social-media-driven world.
