Growing up in sport means needing to deal with all the “normal” growing up things and also needing to develop and grow as an athlete on top of that. It’s the best because you know at the end of your journey, you’ll be stronger that a lot of non-athletes by default: you’ll be more tested, you’ll have more skills for coping, adjusting, winning. But in different stages of growth: all of the development can be a lot and overwhelming. The growing can look and feel like anxiety or “too much” or like failing. Athletes might benefit from a framework to help them see their story beyond good or bad. Their story can be exactly what they need to gain the strength to be who they are supposed to become. Give yourself time. Perspective is everything. #womeninsports #softball #athletes #defenseclub
