Losing Myself in the Pursuit of Perfection | THE HEAT CHECK 3

A raw, honest look at perfectionism — where it comes from, how it shaped Robby’s baseball journey, and why the pressure to be different can quietly erode joy, confidence, and identity.

In this episode, Robby settles into the sauna blanket and unpacks the invisible forces that drove him for years: childhood expectations, early success, attention, insecurity, the obsession with mechanics, and the internal collapse that comes when identity is built on being “the guy.”

If you’ve ever chased perfection, battled validation, or felt like failure meant losing a part of who you are — you’re gonna feel this one.
