Decision fatigue is real—and it drains creativity, momentum, and peace of mind. Juggling roles as an entrepreneur, athlete, and speaker, I thought doing it all made me stronger. But it only left me exhausted and disconnected. Delegation changed everything—it’s how I protect my energy and focus on what matters most.
Why Delegation Is a Game-Changer
The moment I embraced delegation as a leadership strategy, things shifted. As the founder of Frimpong Sportswear and a skeleton athlete, I face many daily decisions—from training to meetings. I used to spiral into indecision, even over what to eat. That’s how decision fatigue sneaks in—slow, silent, and draining. Delegating the right things brought my focus back.
Trust Over Control
If you’ve thought, “It’s easier if I do it myself,” I get it—I used to think the same. But that only leads to burnout. Trusting my team, like I trust my Olympic coaches, helped me focus on sharing my story and empowering youth who deserve a voice.
Letting Go of Perfection
Perfectionism is a major cause of decision fatigue. I used to think if it wasn’t done my way, it wasn’t right. But launching a brand taught me the opposite—empowering others makes the vision stronger. Delegation isn’t giving up control; it’s multiplying your impact.
Build Systems, Not Stress
To beat decision fatigue, I created systems that reduce decision overload. I batch tasks, automate where possible, and stick to routines. This structure clears my mind so I can focus on big plays like mentoring and Olympic training.
Delegation Isn’t Weakness—It’s Wisdom
I delegate because I believe in others. Whether you’re building a brand, chasing a dream, or leading a movement, remember this: decision fatigue doesn’t have to slow you down. You can build smarter, lead stronger, and move forward—with clarity and purpose.
