Season 12 - The dangers of comparing yourself to others

Ever had it where you've compared yourself to someone else, and in your mind you've come up short?

You've been training hard, you've been eating well and you're starting to feel better, your clothes are fitting more comfortably...

...and then you see that person on Instagram or Facebook that's getting results faster than you.

Or they're stronger than you. Why do they have abs and you don't?


Chances are if you're reading this, you absolutely have compared yourself to others before...and the comparisons have been bad in your mind.


But do you know all the facts behind the comparison? Do you both have the same background, are you working towards the game goals? Have you overcome the same obstacles?


In this episode of the show we take a deep dive into why comparing yourselves to others is holding you back, and give you some great advice on why you shouldn't have to worry about it and how you can overcome this issue yourself!
