When you work hard to achieve your aims, you feel more confident, whether you are successful (5) used (6) not.

Answer 1

I don't understand you

Answer 2

While your perspective highlights some positive aspects of competition in sports, it is important to note that the effects of competition can vary depending on individual experiences and circumstances. Some people thrive in competitive environments and find motivation and personal growth through it, while others may find it stressful or demoralizing.

1. Instead of "scoring goals," it would be more accurate to say "scoring goals or witnessing your team win the match." Not everyone directly contributes to scoring goals in a team sport, but they can still experience the joy of victory.

2. The phrase "you don't have to be good" implies that one can still benefit from competition regardless of their skill level. While this is true to some extent, it is important to acknowledge that high levels of competition often require a certain level of skill and ability. However, even participating in competition at a lower skill level can still provide valuable experiences.

3. The phrase "teaches you a lot of things" is a bit vague. Competition can indeed teach individuals various lessons such as resilience, discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Clarifying the specific lessons would strengthen your argument.

4. Instead of "be afraid," it would be more appropriate to say "to fear" or "to be afraid of." Also, the phrase "nothing is ever as scary as it seems" may be subjective, as individuals may have different levels of fear or apprehension about trying new things.

5. The phrase "whether you are successful" can be rephrased to "regardless of whether you are successful" for clarity.

6. Instead of "used," it seems that "unused" or "unsuccessful" would be more appropriate in the context you provided.
