Athlete Identity

Are you an athlete?

Or a person who is an athlete?

Athletes often begin training at a young age. They can identify strongly with being an athlete and become personally and emotional involved in training and competition. Identifying strongly with something is great, it means you are passionate, committed and have great potential to succeed in the field.
Your sport is what you do and what you love, but you are much more. You might be a loyal friend, caring daughter or son, committed activist, passionate thinker, strong leader, and many other things.
Sport performance fluctuates, and many times due to things out of your control. Athletes with a narrow identity may struggle when faced with the challenges of competition. If your worth is being impacted by nerves, performance results, body image or injury, it’s valuable to explore why. When you appreciate seeing yourself as you really are, you allow your performance and enjoyment to grow enormously.
