MindFullSports: A Sports Psychology Podcast

Fear is a major part of everyone's lives. Sometimes it can be called many different things (anxiety, stress, nerves, etc) because we, ironically, are afraid to be afraid (or at least admit to it). Fear does not discriminate who it affects or even what the object of your fear is. You can be afraid of both good and bad things. Athletes are just like everyone else. They have their own fears that can prevent them from performing at their peak level. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mindfullsports/support
