E10 Dealing with Failure: A Discussion About Processing, Understanding, and Growing From Setbacks

Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D.

Guest: Carlos Correa, Professional Baseball Shortstop, Minnesota Twins Baseball Club

Failure is tough, and if we are honest with ourselves, we all experience some level of failure on a near daily basis. Some of these failings are small, while others are substantial and can have real impacts on our lives. Given how commonly failure occurs, we need to figure out how to deal with it in a health way. To give us a unique perspective on how we overcome our fear of failure, work through it an effective manner, and come out stronger on the other side, our guest for this episode is Major League Baseball Player, 3 time All-Star, Gold Glove Winner, and World Series Champion…Carlos Correa.

 

Here are the three big questions we are going to tackle with Carlos:

 

1- What does “failure” really mean, and why is it such a universal experience?

2- Why do so many people struggle with failure, and what mental and emotional barriers keep us stuck?

3- What practical steps can the average person take to process failure positively and use it as fuel for growth?
