Do you need a boatload of confidence? Do you need high trust in your skills? Do you need to stop worrying about making mistakes? Or maybe you need to not obsess about outcomes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, here\u2019s my take\u2026. All of these mental skills lead to success in sports. The one athlete that struggles the most with these skills is the perfectionist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why would perfectionists have trouble performing fearlessly? We know it\u2019s not because of a lack of preparation, dedication or effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is: perfectionists obsess about the outcome or what I call the aftermath of the competition, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*If I don\u2019t succeed, will my parents be upset about my game?<br>*If we don\u2019t win the game, will my teammates still think I\u2019m good?<br>*If I don\u2019t perform great, will I feel disappointed with my performance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, all common questions that a perfectionist mulls over. We put these under the umbrella of fear of failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See, perfectionists can\u2019t let go and play freely because they are protecting themselves against failure by focusing too much on the outcome and aftermath of competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They often worry, needlessly, about what others will think of their performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_top_keys_to_performing_with_trust_in_competition_Ill_give_youre_the_simple_version\"><\/span>What are the top keys to performing with trust in competition? I\u2019ll give you\u2019re the simple version:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Let go of what others think and focus on execution<br>2. Perform for yourself, not to impress (or not disappoint) others<br>3. Stop trying to be perfect and think about winning ugly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on these principles, in the Fearless Athlete CD program, I teach you how to overcome the pitfalls of perfectionism and how to perform freely in competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what one parent\/coach recently said about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/the-fearless-athlete-cd-program\/\" title=\"The Fearless Athlete\"><strong>The Fearless Athlete <\/strong><\/a>CD:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cI purchased The Fearless Athlete program for my daughter, who plays softball. I coach and train her as well\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>While reading the program descriptions, she fit the description of a perfectionist to a &#8220;T&#8221;. I do, too, but have never realized it. Now, I can help her avoid all of the pitfalls I have lived with my entire life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We are on Day 4 of 15 of the daily lessons, and the improvement has been extremely noticeable. Her game performance has gone through the roof. I can see she&#8217;s happier. And it\u2019s brought us closer together.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The training facility she goes to recommended we look into your work.
