How to Overcome Perfectionism in Sports: Sports Psychology Tip

Описание: Some of the greatest athletes ever are perfectionists in sports including Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, and Serena Williams. So how did these athletes get away with being perfectionists? Is perfectionism helpful? Is being a perfectionist why these athletes are great or is perfectionism a thorn in their side? The best athletes are able to use the advantages or perfectionism to shaping their greatness while managing the disadvantages that come with being a perfectionist.

First, athletes need to overcome the lure of “perfectionism” with logic. No athlete is perfect. The pressure to play a perfect game hurts your confidence and enjoyment for the sport.

Second, perform functionally, not perfect. You’re not going to be in the zone every game! Don’t let one bad play dictate your mindset and performance the rest of the competition. Focus on winning ugly and getting it done–without the need to feel or have it look perfect.
