In today’s episode I talk about the detrimental effects of perfectionism on mental health and performance, particularly among girl athletes. We’ll discuss the pressure society places on individuals, especially girl athletes, to meet these high standards. You’ll learn the importance of shifting your mindset, focusing on giving 100% effort rather than striving for perfection. I also share tangible strategies to counteract perfectionism, such as embracing mistakes and giving yourself permission to be imperfect.
