What does it mean when an athlete says "I was humbled by my performance" or something to that effect after they acheive some amazing feat in a race, game, match, etc.
I mean, I can understand an athlete being a humble person and not being arrogant about their victory. But I don't understand how the very act of winning or setting a WR could actually cause you to feel more humble.
Have you ever ran a time that, before the race, you would have laughed at as being completely insane? Or when you go out and run faster than even your "secret" goal time? The one you fantasize about?
It's like that. It's like your new self beat your old self, and your old self is humbled.
