But what if this same pressure is the very thing sabotaging your performance? In this video, I explore how caring too much can actually harm your game and what you can do to strike the perfect balance. Join me as I share insights from my experience as a mental performance coach, working with athletes from academy to pro levels. We’ll dive into the paradox of caring too much, with a look at how top athletes like Nikola Jokic manage to care just enough to perform at their best without being bogged down by anxiety and self-doubt.
