todays
atheletes
have
tons
of
pressure
on
top
of
them!
i
am
an
athelete
and
deal
with
it
daily.
last
year
i
played
travel
volleyball
and
my
season
started
out
good!
but
by
the
time
it
was
almost
over,
my
coach
yelled
and
cussed
me
out
in
a
big
stadium
in
front
of
tons
of
people!
we
were
at
nationals(which
is
a
big
deal)
and
i
still
felt
like
walking
out
and
leaving
my
team!
and
if
i
left,
they
wouldnt
have
enough
players
to
finish.
but
i
sucked
it
up
and
played
my
hardest,
and
it
was
the
best
i
ever
played
in
my
life!
i
learned
my
lesson
though,
im
not
playing
for
her
next
year!
