Facing The Monster

Welcome to Episode 21 - Facing The Monster This week, hosts Jeff Lerg and Chris Palmer introduce the episode focusing on anxiety and its impact on hockey players, emphasizing actionable strategies to overcome it. They highlight that anxiety affects everyone and discuss how to turn it into a motivator rather than a paralyzer. This episode uncovers: - Discussions about seeking reassurance and experiencing self-doubt even after great performances and why acknowledging and addressing these feelings are important, compared to ignoring them. - That doubt, fear, and worry are built-in security systems meant to protect us, but in modern society, these systems can be overactive. - How high-performing athletes deal with disappointment by attacking the problem and working through it, often channeling frustration into improved effort. - The importance of parental support and unconditional love in fostering resilience. - Strategies on how to shrink the perceived "monster" in your thoughts and emotions. - How a certain amount of anxiety can be beneficial, driving individuals to prepare and perform well.
