Compete Well — Identity & Self-Worth

The Problem

"When sport becomes the measure of who you are, a bad day on the field comes home with you, and the other parts of your life can fade into the background. You are a person first who happens to play sport, and the people who matter most will support you however you perform."

Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For athletes whose sense of self-worth rides on how they performed today.

Many athletes confuse self-confidence, your belief in performing tasks, with self-esteem, how you feel about the person you are. This course helps you separate your achievement in sport from your worth as a person. Two modules, taken in order, explore who you are beyond your sport and then practise unconditional self-acceptance, each with exercises, this week's action plans, a post-game assessment and optional tools from the wider FlourishIQ library.

Common questions

FAQ

Who is this course for?

Athletes who fall into the trap of feeling only as good as their last result, who rely on sport for their sense of self-worth, or who have lost touch with their other roles.

Is this about confidence?

It is about self-esteem, which is different. Confidence is belief in your ability to perform; self-esteem is about liking the person you are. A separate Compete Well course focuses on confidence.

Will I need other people to take part?

One exercise invites two or three people who know you well to describe you, so you can compare their view with yours. The rest you do on your own.
