Helping Athletes Overcome Perfectionism with Stephen Mackey – 2Words Character Development

View more from 2Words Character Development here. • July 4, 2022 • By Stephen Mackey

Watch as Stephen Mackey explains that athletes are dealing with pressure and expectations that come from the community and from themselves. Most athletes do not expect growth or personal best but instead, perfection. Athletes should pursue perfection while understanding that failure can be a classroom and not a disqualifying event. Failure should be used to teach the athlete and help them move forward.
