Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v37 n4 p3-7 2024
Young athletes want to be successful in many aspects of their game. Unfortunately, some athletes allow their desire to be successful to turn into perfectionistic behaviors that do not benefit them and can lead to burnout. Coaches have a responsibility and want to help their athletes through their unhealthy perfectionism, but many coaches do not know how to do so. This article provides practical suggestions for coaches to help their athletes when they exhibit perfectionistic behaviors.
