Need to know your thoughts
I'm 22 years old. National level athlete. I was homeschooling since 7th class. I had no friends to share anything with. I started sports. I was too shy to talk to anyone. I didn't understand how to talk anyone. I wasn't like this all the time. My closed ones are always been my family since I started home schooling. After few months in sports, I got new friends. We were training under same coach. Everything was really beautiful. After a year or 2, a guy created misunderstanding in the group and we all broke up. Since then I was all alone. I became very isolated, my performance went dramatically down, I was all messed up. Last year I started training under new coach. He's just 3-4 years elder than me. He's kind of cool and charming guy. My performance improved. I'm still training alone but I got someone to look after my progress. But I couldn't make a good relation with my coach. I always feel like - I'm not like others. I'm very under confident. I can't speak in public. And even 1 on 1 with my coach, I don't understand what to speak. And my coach might think the same about me. I very stupid. He ignores my message most of the time. He might think I'm not a good athlete. I don't understand how to improve myself.
Hi
First off national level athlete that's really great. That's a great achievement . That's a harder and harder to do nowadays especially with society everyone's unhealthier than ever and distractions like social media
Secondly its perfectly ok to feel the way you except the part about being stupid. No everyone is social and some are more introvert doesn't mean it'd wrong.
Also you said it yourself in the right environment you were able to make friends so you could in the right environment do it again . Is there not another group or coach you can train under instead. I feel there's always an edge gained when you train with a rival . Someone to push you on.
Believe in yourself . If you ever want to reach just message. Take care .
