Did you know anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the US affecting 40 million adults ages 18 and older which is 18% of the population? What about individuals or athletes who struggle with public speaking or performance anxiety? What about young athletes who face pressure from their parents or coach to perform better at their sport or just to improve their appearance? Are there ways we can overcome these challenges and fears? In this podcast, I speak with Sports Psychologist Dr. Sam Maniar to discuss the strategies he uses in his practice to help athletes, executives, and every day people overcome the problems they are facing in their lives.
