Olympic athletes and their imaginary "doubters"

So despite saying you wouldn’t watch the Olympics….

Jamin being Jamin

If you watch YouTube videos and are on let's run enough, you will see that shacarri has both haters and doubters. Elaine doesn't really have doubters maybe a few but doubting a reigning champ is stupid, most only questioned her health and supposedly her coach spread the rumor that her ankle was still damaged. It was a little bit of mental warfare

I agree with him on this occasion however.

They all play this ‘I showed you’ game, but in reality who is actually telling them that they can’t do it?

An extension of modern victim culture. Everyone wants to be the victim even the high achievers with thousands of adoring fans.

Well, Sha'Carri had plenty who thought she is/was a doper, but winning a race certainly wouldn't silence them.

I agree with this poster as well. If I owned this site, you'd have been banned over a year ago.

You've not been on a date in 5 years, right? You delete entire threads when you don't get the desired response. You lie incessantly like this poster is alluding to. Are you really THAT insecure?

As an elite athlete myself, this one is easy. They mean all the doubters they had to deal with their whole lives. Other competitors at meets. Other kid's parents. Their own friends who thought they were wasting time in athletics. Teachers who say they needed to focus on school because only 1% of 1% of athletes make it big.

When I silenced all my doubters it was the best day of my life and also the worst day. I was undeniably the best. Everyone knew it. But I soon became to realize I fed off all of that negative energy and it was all gone. No longer did I have anyone pushing me to succeed. I became lazy. I became fat. And now all I do is post on LetsRun.

The greatest competitors in sports history make up stories to motivate themselves. Did you watch the last dance? Jordan straight up made up a story about a dude talking smack so that he could get into the headspace to destroy him on the court.

modern victim culture? Athletes saying that nobody believed goes back at least 100 years. probably back to the orginal olympics a couple thousand years back but the records are a bit sketchy...

Online trolls shouldn’t really be taken seriously.
