Former WWE star and winner of ‘Tough Enough,’ Maven has opened up about his journey in the wrestling world in a recent YouTube video. He particularly addresses his experiences with imposter syndrome throughout his wrestling career and more.
Here are several key takeaways from his video:
Maven admitted to constantly battling imposter syndrome during his time in WWE, saying, “Truth be told, throughout my entire tenure in WWE, it felt like I was wrestling with imposter syndrome. Every single time I stepped into that locker room, there was always this nagging thought at the back of my head questioning whether or not I truly belonged there.”
Discussing the prevalence of these feelings among other wrestlers, he shared, “In conversations with other guys I’d frequently travel with, we were just a bunch of goofy kids. We never really considered ourselves at the peak of our profession even though we were. I think when you attain a certain level of success, self-doubt kicks in, albeit in small doses. Wrestlers in WWE are definitely no exception.”
