Athletes Foot Remedy – Natural Cures for Athletes Foot Fungus

We have all had the itching and extreme frustration that can stem from something so minuscule and small you would not think of the damage that it could do. The culprit I am talking about is athletes foot which can make you want to simply hang your foot out your car door so that you can get the relief from the itch. Fortunately, there is an athletes foot remedy that will help you achieve the relief you so desperately seek.

If you are unsure if that scratch is more than just a bug bite gone awry then you should take a look at the symptoms of athletes foot. Athletes foot is actually a type of fungus that most generally forms between the toes and can cause an itching or burning sensation accompanied by some skin peeling on the foot.  Skin peeling is a good sign that this is more than just an itching foot.

Breeding grounds for athletes foot are places such as pool decks, locker rooms, and shower booths.  That is why so many people have resorted to wearing the ever-lovely flip-flop when they are in places such as that. They keep you from having to touch your foot to the possible fungus that might have formed on the floor and also help you keep your feet clean.

An athletes food remedy that is very popular is something that you can find in most any home and has a multitude of uses. White vinegar could be your greatest natural athletes foot remedy as it will work to kill off the fungus that has formed on your tootsies. To try this athletes foot remedy you simply soak your foot in a white vinegar bath for twenty to thirty minutes twice a day.  Not only is it easy, it’s a one hundred percent all-natural remedy that will cost you very little compared to some of the prescriptions that can be shoved your way.

Something else that is a true one hundred percent all natural athletes foot remedy would be to try rubbing tea tree oil on the affected area.  Tea tree oil has been used for centuries as a cure all for most everything because of its natural healing abilities. Tea tree oil could be the savior you were waiting on.

Things that you can do to prevent athletes foot would be to wear cotton socks to pull away the moisture and if you are a person that has very sweaty feet try putting some foot powder in your sock.  That will also absorb any extra moisture and also help those feet smell a little better as well.

Of course there are many other types of athletes foot remedies that you can try but these are the tried and true ones that have been used and loved by many.  They will help you to get rid of your athletes foot with minimal muss or fuss making you the happy person you once were.

Athletes, the Impostor Syndrome, and Self-doubt

As a fighter, coach, and official of many World Champion USA Kickboxing and Karate Teams, I can assure you The Impostor Syndrome is alive and well in the world of sports. 

A great example was in The Ultimate Fighter 5 when Joe Scarola, a student of coach Matt Serra quit with seconds to go in his first fight. Serra was yelling at Scarola to hold on for seconds more when Scarola tapped out. Serra, who has known and worked with Scarola since he was a kid, said, “He just didn’t want to be here.”

That, in my experience, is classic Impostor Syndrome at work. These are athletes that are more interested in not looking bad than winning.

Sports psychology studies show that athletes who expect to win do so more than those who don’t. That may seem obvious, but many athletes reading this recognize the depth of this truism.

Athletes committed to winning want to win and hate to lose. When they win, they will tell you why and how. When they do lose, they will first imply that they were injured, distracted, or the official blew the call. This is usually followed by a standard media reply such as, “We’ll just have to regroup…” or something generic if it’s an interview.

Athletes who are not committed to winning do the opposite. When they win, they will say something like, “I got lucky today…” or “It really could have gone either way…” These athletes would rather pull up short of their full effort and accept a near loss, rather than give it everything they have and still lose. If they take too much credit for the win, they have a fear that they will be expected to continue to win.

If they lose, they will say something like, “I just enjoy the challenge…” or “I’m just glad to be here…”

Clearly, not every athlete is at either end of the spectrum of these examples. But this discussion refers to high caliber amateur and professional athletes with more at stake in the competition than the average weekend warrior.

The difference between winning and losing can be literally “by a nose,” but the difference in rewards can be massive.

Part of preparing for competition is to condition the mind to accept and embrace the pain that the athlete may have to endure to win. A good coach also works on mental preparation in helping athletes understand that this feeling of self-doubt or that you are faking it is common. Studies show that up to 70% of the population is affected by The Impostor Syndrome and that includes athletes.

In fact, many of us, myself included, entered into a sport in order to help us gain some confidence and overcome self-doubt. Coaches and teachers would serve their athletes well to recognize that and let the athletes know that every great champion has doubts.

Muhammad Ali said before each fight that he stood in the restroom stall in the locker room trying to pee, but he got so nervous he never could. In his book, This is Going to Hurt, Tito Ortiz says that he cries before each fight. All great champions have doubt.

We have to let our athletes know that it’s OK to have self-doubt and then present them with strategies to overcome them.
