Ep 16 - Unstoppable x Healing Chats: Understanding Performance Anxiety in Young Athletes
About this episode
Ever felt your stomach hurts before a competition? You’re definitely not alone🫂
In this episode of HealingChats Podcast, I am so honoured to invite Ziyan, a rising star of the Hong Kong's sailing team to unpack performance anxiety in young athletes🥺 - why it happens, how it cripples confidence, and the coping methods when experienced with performance anxiety💭
As a "competitive" table tennis player, I still battle those pre-match moments where my brain won’t stop whispering to myself "what if I lose?" "what if I didn't play well?" etc😰
The overthinking, the self-doubt, does it sound familiar to you? Together, Ziyan and I get real about:
🔹 What performance anxiety really looks like?
🔹 Proven coping strategies
🔹 Coaches: Make-or-break role?
🔹 How organisations help to normalise mental health?
