Listen "Fear of Success"
Episode Synopsis
Text me your thoughts!We all know about the fear of failure—but what about the fear of success? In this episode, I unpack a mindset pattern that quietly limits athletes, coaches, and even parents: the tendency to hold back just as things are going well.Drawing from psychology, sport science, and real-life examples, I explore why some athletes shrink when the spotlight gets brighter, how fear of success differs from fear of failure, and what research tells us about impostor phenomenon, fear of positive evaluation, and self-handicapping.You’ll also hear practical strategies to help athletes own their wins, coaches to create environments where success feels safe, and parents to support their athletes without piling on pressure.Whether you’re on the field, in the classroom, or navigating life beyond sports, this episode will give you the tools to step into success with confidence.Support the showWebsite: https://www.becomingmystrongerme.com/Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomingmystrongerme/IG: @strongermeTikTok: @becomingmystrongerme
