Coaching the Athletic Mind Podcast - Episode 29 - Navigating Social Media for Athletes with Breana Field

Episode 29 continues a discussion on imposter syndrome and focuses on how social media can harm confidence through “compare and despair,” especially when algorithms serve highlight reels of top performers. The conversation emphasizes being intentional about who you follow, choosing content that genuinely motivates you, and setting boundaries like a daily timer to prevent endless scrolling. It also reframes success: you don’t have to be the best—being “good enough,” building strong connections, and creating meaningful experiences can reduce imposter feelings. The episode highlights that trying to be your best all the time is exhausting, and doing “B- work”  can keep you moving forward instead of stuck in perfectionism.
