EP.25 - The Trifecta of Fear ft. Danielle Gray

Danielle Gray - multi-passionate entrepreneur, Wilhelmina fitness model, speaker, and the founder of Train Like A Gymnast, understands firsthand what it’s like to have high expectations for yourself. She knows that with her proven processes for mindset shifts, you can accomplish anything when you break it down into the smallest steps possible. She has created a way to make health and fitness comprehensible, enjoyable, efficient, and effective. She is also a certified personal trainer with specialties in bodyweight training, nutrition, kettlebells, pre and post natal exercise as well as a former Junior Olympic gymnast, judge and coach. 

Her proprietary program, Train Like A Gymnast, helps high-achieving, formerly-competitive athletes increase confidence, reduce stress & anxiety, and become more emotionally intelligent through physical and mental conditioning so that they can maximize their full potential. TLAG takes a holistic approach to health and wellness, recognizing that 99% of training like a gymnast is mental. Once you get your mind right, it’s a domino effect when it comes to your performance, strength, flexibility, and the rest of your life.

In this episode, Danielle and I discuss the fear of failure many athletes develop out of a desire to be perfect, and a combined fear of judgment from coaches, parents, and teammates. We talk about how her own pursuit of perfection was holding her back and how a fear of failure and judgment led to her mental and emotional fatigue. We discuss how fear has impacted her development on a personal, professional, and athletic level, and what led to her seeking out her next thing to truly find her purpose in life! And finally, we discuss how your story cannot continue unless you are willing to turn the page.
