Jealousy in Sports: Is Envy in Athletes a Killer or a Motivator?

Raising Pro Athletes

What is envy when it comes to sports? And why it can either be a killer or the motivator for your child to get better.

Understanding where it comes from and handling it properly can help your kid rise above it and become so much better

Here’s an example of how envy can creep up on a kid and deflate them. They can feel envy towards another athlete because that kid started much earlier than they did.

Or, as it was in our case, my son gets injured more than most of his friends, and he gets frustrated and envious why they don’t go through what he does.

There are so many heads to the Envy snake, and all it comes down to is seeing it and properly managing the situation.

That’s what this episode will help you understand better.
