About Missy West

You’re not good enough, you don’t have what it takes and that’s why you’re scared!” That\'s what every elite performer\'s inner critic secretly whispered to them before they made the decision to own their imposter syndrome, face their fears and kill their addiction to being validated by the scoreboard and other people. I should know, I was one of them. As a 7-time Hall of Fame athlete, former professional and division 1 basketball player at Duke University, former collegiate coach, a two-time Ironman Finisher, and an autoimmune disease survivor, I find great joy and healing in sharing my life\'s journey in how I struggled and yet overcame to achieve so much in my life.
