It’s not enough to know that you have fear of failure. What’s more important is to know what type of fear holds you back. Here are the top four fears for athletes and as you can see, fear of failure often is related to what you assume others think about you.
1. Fear of losing a match, game, or race – you badly want to win and are afraid you will not win.
2. Fear of negative social evaluation – you fear others will view you as a failure in sports.
3. Fear of embarrassment – you are afraid to embarrass yourself in front of others if you don’t perform well.
4. Fears of letting others down – you do not want to let others down such as a coach, parent, or teammate.
