Get rid of the perfectionist mentality

from Sports Motivation Podcast

Speed. Fearlessness. The ability to learn fast from your own mistakes. That's what the jungle demands from you. Most people are training for the classroom instead. In this episode I break down the difference between a classroom mentality and a jungle mentality, and why one of them is quietly wrecking your growth. The classroom trains you to look perfect, avoid being wrong, chase "correct." The jungle doesn't care about correct. It cares if you can adapt and survive. I use the wrestler mindset here. A wrestler in preseason puts himself in live positions on purpose, so he finds his weak spots before the season shows them to him the hard way. That's the work. Not looking good. Getting exposed early so you can fix it. I'll show you how to catch the classroom mentality showing up in your own life, usually disguised as procrastination. How to feel it in your body before your brain even names it. And the two questions that cut straight through it: what am I actually afraid of, and when did I learn to be afraid of that.
