Hello and welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast. I'm your host Sammy and today we are talking about

competition and performance anxiety. Hey everyone, welcome to the podcast today. I'm so glad you are here.

Thanks for joining me. I need to ask a favor of you, please. If you haven't left a review

for the podcast yet, please go leave one. It's helpful to me and the show, and it helps the show

be more visible to those that need it, and it helps people find it. And if you have a specific podcast show request, I know you guys have

specific topics that you want help with. And so leave those in the review for me. I read them all

and I love hearing from you guys. So if you've left a review, thank you. And if you haven't

left one, please go leave one. The question I have for you

today is, is the thing that you love to do causing you some anxiety? And that's what we're going to

be talking about today, competition and performance anxiety. This is one topic we cover a lot in my coaching programs, and I wanted to share a little bit

about it with you today and hopefully leave you with some helpful bits of information.

So if you are a swimer or a basketball player, cross-country runner, volleyball player, dancer, actor,

performer, artist, speech presenter, singer,

soccer player.

And I know I'm not listening all the things here, but if you are listening to the podcast,

insert whatever it is that you love to do because this topic can apply to any teen who is participating

in anything that they love to do.

If you love to do something and anxiety is getting in the way of it, it can be really

frustrating and defeating and just make you feel like you want to quit and it's not worth it anymore.

And just give up.

You will know if you are experiencing anxiety around your activity, if you are feeling really

uncomfortable physical sensations.
