Welcome to Episode 33 - Pretender or Contender? Battling Imposter Syndrome.

In this episode, hosts Jeff Lerg and Chris Palmer explain that Imposter Syndrome, while not a formal psychological diagnosis, describes a situation where individuals doubt their abilities.

Chris Palmer elaborates that Imposter Syndrome manifests as extreme self-doubt and fear of being "found out" as less capable than others perceive. He emphasized how this affects athletes at all levels, preventing them from taking risks or pursuing higher-level opportunities due to fear of failure.

Episode highlights:

- What is Imposter Syndrome and how it relates to athletes.

- How social media has amplified these feelings associated with Imposter Syndrome through increased exposure to criticism and comparison.

- The PERMA framework (Positive, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Achievement) developed by Martin Seligman, explaining how understanding these elements can help athletes overcome Imposter Syndrome.

- Powerful examples of highly skilled athletes that harbor these feelings of Imposter Syndrome.

- The importance of finding genuine passion in sports.
