Joe Fier describes a Canadian Olympic skier who hadn't placed in two years. Testing revealed she subconsciously didn't want to win because at seven, she'd won more than her brother and her mother hid her medals. Early family dynamics had built a psychological block to success.

Like, I had an Olympic level Canadian skier. So Canadian skiers, they don't make a lot of money. Pretty good.
The only reason why I didn't do this is because obviously they should want to win. Like, you train every day. You don't have a social life. But she came to see me because she had not placed in two years. So when I did the work that I do, the subconscious work, I tested her on I want to win. And lo and behold.
We discovered that subconsciously, she did not want to win. Why? Because when she was seven years old, she was already winning more than her brother. So her mom would hide her medals and her trophies, not to make her siblings feel poorly.
