Dangers of Fear of Failure in Sports

January 22, 2011 By Patrick Cohn

Is your performance held back by fear? If your performance is stuck and not improving, it’s a good bet that you are limited by your own fear. Fear comes in many forms – fear of failure, fear of success, fear of embarrassment, and so on. Many of my students hit a wall of worry caused by these fears and many others.

More than any other fear, fear of failure limits athletes from performing their best and can cause athletes to give up their dreams in sports. Most athletes with fear of failure are afraid to fail or lose because they work so hard to achieve their goals and succeed in their sport. This intense desire to succeed causes athletes to worry about not getting what they badly want.

Check out The Fearless Athlete CD program to perform without Fear of Fialure.
