In this episode, Kim explores an athlete's curse of perfectionism.

Take a listen to learn how athletes attach themselves to "being perfect". contact@everythingathletes.com

When we take a moment to understand our perfectionist mindset, we can start to build a strong foundation to manage the moments that feel as though they don't measure up.
