Carrye strug, gymnast in the 92 olympics, landed on her vault with a sprain and tendon damage. Roda wants to know how to athletes overcome intense pain during competition. Is it a drenelin? Can one really push through that kind of pane to the back of their mind? And they say every time there are not much pain, they just get dizzy. Yet will carry shrug, of course. If i could make her almost a poster child for for what athletes have overcome in sport, it's pretty amazing.
Sweaty palms before a date. Racing heart during a presentation. Needing a diaper while delivering a wedding toast. We've all been there. On the heels of New Year's resolutions, sports & performance psychologist Dr. Sari Shepphird explains confidence vs. performance anxiety, the origins of perfectionism, how much social media is too much, self-sabotoage and also dishes on strategies that athletes use to perform under pressure. Also: why you should holler the F word when you're nervous, why being authentic is always the best policy and the perils of professional darts.
