Today, with my colleague Dr Alessia Bruno we discuss the downsides to perfectionism and how many athletes can get obsessed by their sports, training harder and harder, pushing themselves to the limit. The result can then be burnout, playing in fear or a lack of enjoyment. Enjoy tuning in!

Key Learning Points

  • Sport can be seen as a job by perfectionist athletes.
  • When searching to get better, the perfectionist can lose the ability to perform with freedom and trust.
  • Physically the perfectionist athlete can become tense and rigid losing control of their fine motor skills, rhythm and timing.
  • Striving for perfection can lead to loss of enjoyment.
  • Visualisation is a great tool when trying to reconnect with the fun and playful part of your personality.
