I may be a successful football player, but I feel like such a failure.

I was very afraid of failure because if you fail at something you love, then you ruin what you love.

So many times in my life, people have tried to make me a failure.

I have an enormous sense of having failed in life.

In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.

And as a true athlete, mistakes haunt you forever.

My failures may be my greatest successes. It is in failure that I have often drawn closer to God, learn to depend more on Him than myself, gained self-knowledge, and seen things in their right perspective.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

I've always had to have some kind of failure before I was successful.

I'm cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally.
