Paris Olympics 2024: Imposter Syndrome

Imposter Syndrome. A condition in which a high achiever doubts their abilities and attributes their achievements to a fluke. I was surprised to learn that gold medal winning swimmer Caeleb Dressel ,in spite of his success, suffered from feeling of anxiety and insecurity about his achievements .  He even suffered anxiety attacksnand depression. We never know what goes on in the minds of these seemingly confident and gifted athletes. It has motivated me to learn more about the younger and emerging Olympic stars.
