    In this thought-provoking video, we delve into the paradox of perfectionism using the fascinating career of Kylian Mbappe as our backdrop. Over the last two years, the football world has closely observed Mbappe's journey, from winning the World Cup at 19 to his current status as a 25-year-old player with immense talent and potential.
    However, despite his exceptional abilities, Mbappe's career has faced stagnation due to his own indecision and pursuit of perfection. We explore how his last-minute U-turn in joining Real Madrid, subsequent contract controversies with PSG, and the ongoing transfer saga reveal a crucial paradox in sports.
    The video reveals the double-edged sword of perfectionism, where the relentless pursuit of the perfect move or performance can lead to decision paralysis and missed opportunities. Drawing insights from mental performance coaching and real-world athlete experiences, we uncover three key strategies to break free from perfectionism:
    Intend but Don't Expect: Learn how adopting a mindset of realistic optimism, as seen in Michael Jordan's approach, helps athletes set high standards without succumbing to the pressure of unrealistic expectations.
    Keep it Fun: Explore how embracing a more enjoyable approach to sports, exemplified by tennis star Aryna Sabalenka, can alleviate performance anxiety, enhance focus, and contribute to sustained motivation.
    Minimal Viable Performance (MVP): Discover the concept of MVP in sports, where athletes set achievable performance goals alongside their pursuit of perfection. This strategy prevents the toxic cycle of disappointment, allowing athletes to bounce back and continue striving for their biggest goals.

    This is so true, So much time is wasted waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect plan, the perfect conditions. But at a certain point, you realize. You just have to START.

    I was chasing perfection and excellents even though i knew that i would probably never catch it.But just the fact that i was willing to chase it,i would beat most of my opponents,because most of my opponents would never chase something that didnt have any guarantees attached to it...-Kobe Bryant💙

    I was told this recently.
    If you expect perfection from yourself but never believe that you are perfect, you are doomed to fail from the very start.

    I wish I could remember the motorcycle racer’s name who said this, as I just read it last week. Might’ve been a former MotoGP or WorldSBK guy, someone who’s raced at one of the highest levels of the sport. He said “I’ve only ever ridden 4 or 5 perfect laps in my life”.
    That kind of put things into perspective for me as a hobbyist trackday rider/club racer that only does this a handful or two’s worth of days a year. Especially compared to someone who had hundreds of thousands of laps during the span of his life & career.

    The "mvp" is a great strategy to learn because yes you are still striving for greatness in whatever you are doing but you can still accept that some losses and pain will come along your pathway. Accepting this will help you grow as a person and find ways to improve as a whole. There is always room for improvement even if it is the smallest thing, Great video 👍

    Maybe the guy just wants to play for a club he loves? Personally, if I was a footballer, I'd only want to play for 1 club no matter where in the footballing pyramids they were.

    Another amazing video my brother. It’s all about focusing on the process of development. Just always enjoy every second of the moment. By moment I mean the hard work, the success, the failures, the learning curve, everything. Enjoy everything and focus on improving every single day to become one step closer to your fullest potential. That’s what I always think as an athlete. Personal growth 🦾🙏🏼📈
