interesting to see the discourse around naomi osaka’s post match interview most great athletes hate losing more than they love winning the emptiness and sadness i felt after an underperformance in sports was visceral especially as an individual athlete not in a team sport i think that its because the loss is so measurable like you’re literally a loser🤣 it’s so visible and public too if you mess up at work it’s between you and your boss maybe colleagues too but to lose when the world is watching, when your family and friends are cheering for you and maybe even travelled and bought tickets to support you just sucks brain replaying every mistake you made non stop but she’ll be fine and bounce back it’s just part of sport https://x.com/espnw/status/1941175577806848234?s=46

That feeling when, from your POV; everything is meant to go well but it turns against you. Just like someone was watching you do the thinking ... Taking an SL on one of your most confident trade positions It hits really hard
