I can definitely relate to it :/ Feeling the pressure and then feeling like a failure when you didn't meet up to everyone's expectations. Not only that, but the backlash and hurtful comments you get after that don't help the situation.
I swam and played volleyball. my parents and coaches always held me to a high standard because I was considered one of the best members in my team but I'm horrible under pressure
i remember the youth olympics my brother was race walking he ended up coming second and got disqualified we then later realised that he only got 2 warning instead of 3 and they mixed him up with the winner of the race, so my brother ended up winning, however the boy that one took the judges to court for disqualifying him and so somehow my brother remained fake disqualified and the boy that one the race remained the champion, my brother is the fastest junior racewalker in the world :)
