Listen "Defensive Pessemism"
Episode Synopsis
Do you ever find yourself giving up before you've even started? Or calling a loss or failure before it happens? Convincing yourself that something negative will happen feels better than getting your hopes up and getting let down. That's called defensive pessimism and its the topic of today's episode. Kara will talk about what it looks like, if its beneficial and how we can help our athletes if they fall into the cycle.
