I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In a sportsperson's life, pressure is always there; you have to learn to deal with it.
I think pressure exists in a situation only when you are unsure of your talent and people are expecting a lot from you due to your lineage.
I do feel pressure. I have always been able to surprise people because they didn't know to expect anything from me. And now people are starting to have expectations.
I don't really put too much pressure on myself. The only time people feel pressure is when they put it on themselves and listen to the outside stuff. I have great teammates and great coaches that do the right things around me that allows me to just focus on the game of football.
People think you have pressure when you are young. It's the other way round, actually.
There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don't put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.
I love playing football. So I go out to play football, and I don't really feel pressure. Of course, there are some days when things just don't work out as well as they do on other days, but that doesn't have anything to do with pressure.
For an athlete, the biggest pressure comes from within. You know what you want to do and what you're capable of.
I'm not someone who feels the pressure of someone else's expectations. That's a very young way to feel.
I feel pressure every day. It is only pressure that I put on myself, but I would expect all professional sportspeople to feel pressure to perform their best whenever they are at work.
