In this episode of The Sports Project, Steve and Dr. Eddie discuss …

How fans and athletes are alike in their expectations of the future:

• Be careful not to get too attached to either the negative or the positive for best performances
• How the pain of losing has several positive effects

Perfectionism:

• How intolerance of mistakes contribute to the development of perfectionism
• Use mistakes as an opportunity to grow
• Join Success Stories Membership as we tackle challenges like these (www.dreddieoconnor.com/membership)

Advice to players unsure if they will have a season:

• Keep your attention on what you control (training, recovery, mindset, nutrition and sleep)
• Increase motivation to train by focusing on your identity (this is what athletes do) rather than the deadlines
• Beat you opponent by being prepared – this is an opportunity to get ahead
• How to use the pandemic to develop your strength in adversity by using the “go ahead and look back” exercise
