87 - Why Comparison Holds You Back & How to Build Self Confidence w/ Athlete Parker Foster pt.2

August 29, 2022

“Have confidence in your abilities and then be tough enough to follow through until you reach your goals!”
-Felicity Luckey

We’ve all had trouble with self confidence and thinking the path we are on isn’t the right one. It’s natural. What matters is what we do when those thoughts arise. Even if you aren’t gunning for the title of the Fittest on Earth, learning how to develop your self confidence, control the variables you can control, and choosing everyday to do hard things will only help you on your Quest to success!

This week’s guest is CrossFit Games Athlete, Parker Foster. After breaking his back in his last season of high school football, Parker questioned whether he’d be able to ever compete at a high level in sports again. Two years after his injury, Parker was cleared to begin training hard again and since then has gone head first into becoming a professional CrossFit Athlete! Parker competed in the Atlas Games in June, marking his first semi-finals as he works his way to becoming one of the top CrossFit Athletes in the country.

Throughout this episode we walk through Parker's experience at the CrossFit Semi finals and his biggest takeaways, the mindset shift Parker had once he started competing against his heroes, and how to develop self confidence and begin performing at your best. We also explore why others' results don’t matter when chasing your goals, the 3 things that separate the good from the great, why we have to choose to do hard things every day, and so much more!
