Bianca Belair has reportedly been dealing with ‘imposter syndrome.’ It has been recognized by psychologists and others to be a very real and particular type of intellectual self-doubt.
The EST of WWE excelled in track and field in college, eventually winning All-SEC and All-American accolades while enrolled at the University of Tennessee. She has been an athlete her entire life and has also competed in CrossFit and weight lifting as well.
Moreover, Bianca Belair’s meteoric rise to the top of the WWE Women’s division in nearly two years on the main roster has been remarkable. So it is even surprising to learn that a competitor like her would be dealing with a condition that brings self-doubt. Belair spoke about the same during an interview on WBIR Channel 10 – in her hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee.
“Being brand new, trying to navigate a new career, trying to navigate a new environment. dealing with imposter syndrome of ‘Am I really supposed to be here?’ … It was really just wrapping my mind around starting from the bottom and working my way up, and just being confident in myself.”
