A lot of athletes think growth only happens when things are going well.

But some of the biggest breakthroughs happen during the hardest moments.

The bad practices.

The mental blocks.

The frustrating days where nothing feels easy.

Those are the moments that test athletes the most.

Not because struggle automatically makes you stronger, but because challenges force athletes to learn patience, communication, resilience, and trust in themselves.

It is easy to feel confident when everything is clicking.

The real growth happens when athletes keep showing up even when things feel uncomfortable.

That is why challenges are not always signs that something is going wrong.

Sometimes they are part of becoming better.

On this week’s Perform Happy Podcast, Lexi Funk shares how working through setbacks, fear, and difficult moments helped shape her both as an athlete and now as a coach.

You can do a skill a thousand times and still develop a mental block after one bad fall.

That is what makes fear in gymnastics so frustrating.

A lot of athletes think confidence disappears because they are weak or not mentally tough enough.

But that is not true.

Sometimes all it takes is one scary moment for your brain to stop trusting something that used to feel automatic.

@lexi.funk shares how she struggled with fear on beam after a bad fall, even though she had successfully done the skill thousands of times before.

And one of the most important things she learned was that mental blocks do not always make logical sense.

Trying to force yourself through fear usually does not help.

What actually helps is slowing things down, rebuilding trust, and going back to the basics until your brain feels safe again.

That process takes patience.

But it is possible.

On this week’s Perform Happy Podcast, Lexi Funk shares her experience with mental blocks, confidence, and how athletes can rebuild trust in themselves after fear takes over.
