Mindset Monday #77 | The Thief of Joy: Why Comparing Yourself to Others Kills Growth

In this episode of Mindset Monday, Coach A breaks down one of the biggest mindset traps in sports — comparison.

We live in a world of constant metrics, rankings, and highlights. It’s easy to compare yourself to teammates, players in the league, or even the best in the world. But comparison kills growth.

Sports should be about personal development — becoming a better version of yourself each day. When you stop comparing and start focusing on your own progress, everything changes.

🎯 In this episode:

• Why comparison is the thief of joy

• The difference between healthy competition and unhealthy comparison

• How to shift your focus inward and measure your growth

• What happens when you block out the noise and trust your own process

You don’t need to be better than everyone else. You just need to be better than you were yesterday.
