Perfectionism Pitfalls
KEY TAKE AWAY
Perfectionism, when used appropriately, is a very powerful tool. However, we need to try to eliminate the attitude that falling short of perfect is unacceptable
ACTION PLAN
We want you to think about the weakness(es) or flaw(s) that you are worried about. After you have given it some thought, ponder on the fact that every athlete within your sport is not perfect in these areas. Think about all the times even the best athletes have made the same mistakes you just thought about… reframe your mindset to appreciate your desire to be the best possible athlete you can be, but also account for the fact mistakes will happen. That’s a promise, no matter who you are.
