Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I finish a rep and all I can say is "that felt off" or "that was okay"
• When something doesn’t land the way I hoped, I write the whole thing off as a failure and myself along with it
• I rack up tons of experience but barely seem to get better, because the second one thing ends I’m already onto the next
• I explained it once, it felt great, and I declared myself done
• I put in hours alone and just assume I’m getting better, but nobody’s telling me what I’m doing wrong in the moment
