Real World Lecture: Perfectionism - What Are The Hidden Costs of High Achievement in Sport?

Striving for excellence can drive success - but when does it become harmful?

We examine how perfectionism can contribute to athlete burnout, emotional distress, and vulnerability to depression. We challenge common myths around perfectionism, clarifying how even so-called adaptive forms can become harmful under certain conditions. Using research and real-world examples, you’ll discover how certain approaches can help reduce perfectionism.
