Steph Curry Discusses Impostor Syndrome in June 4, 2025 Report

Published 1 month ago3 minute read

Renowned basketball player Steph Curry recently opened up about his experiences with self-doubt, telling CNBC, "I'm human like everybody. You have doubts about yourself, or you have impostor syndrome at times." When asked directly if he suffers from impostor syndrome, he affirmed, "At times, yeah." This candid admission from a high-profile athlete underscores the commonality of such feelings, even among the most successful individuals.

Steph Curry provided further insight into what impostor syndrome means to him. He explained that it's not so much a question of his abilities but rather a deep-seated concern about whether he is adequately supporting those who depend on him and whether he is reaching his utmost potential across all his endeavors. "It's an idea of, 'Are you doing everything you can to take care of people that are relying on you?' 'Are you fulfilling your full potential in all different areas that I've set out to do?'" he stated. This perspective casts impostor syndrome as a reflection of his commitment to responsibility and personal growth. Steph is married to Ayesha Curry, a TV chef, with whom he shares four children: Riley, 12, Ryan, nine, Canon, six, and Caius, 12 months old.

Interestingly, Ayesha Curry, Steph's wife, has also shared her own struggles with impostor syndrome concerning her diverse career. Ayesha has found success with her Food Network show 'Ayesha's Home Kitchen,' worked as an actress, and recently featured in the film 'Irish Wish' with Lindsay Lohan. She revealed to People: "I have terrible imposter syndrome, and [Steph] is always there to encourage me, remind me, uplift me, and be like, 'Hey, what do you need today?' So from that perspective, he's always there and kind of my sounding board." This highlights the mutual support within their relationship when facing such internal challenges.

Related to Ayesha's ventures, it was mentioned that at one point, Steph Curry was promoting her skincare line. He noted that the inspiration for this skincare venture came from "beautiful ingredients" sourced from Ayesha's family's native Jamaica. Ayesha herself elaborated on the brand's philosophy, saying, "I felt like what you put in your body you can put on your body, and there has to be some sort of efficacy from all of these beautiful ingredients that come from where my family's from in Jamaica, and so we started to do a deep dive and quickly realized there are a lot of ingredients that aren't mass market right now that are really effective for the skin." This initiative underscores Ayesha's entrepreneurial spirit and her connection to her cultural heritage, with Steph's support being evident.
