Discover your Fears

 

Fear can be the "elephant in the room" or your blindspot. Maybe you avoid it or put it aside and not think about it. Fear is one of the most significant factors that can inhibit performance in wrestling and sports. Whether it’s fear of losing, fear of making mistakes, fear of disappointing others, or even fear of getting hurt, these internal doubts can create mental blocks that limit an athlete’s ability to perform freely and confidently. Let's open up those fears and you will be surprised of the impact.

When athletes operate from a place of fear, they often play it safe, avoid taking necessary risks, or mentally check out during key moments.

The first step to overcoming fear is awareness.
