Pressure to perform was intense from "summary" of The Race of My Life by Milkha Singh
The pressure to perform was like a heavy weight on my shoulders, threatening to crush me at any moment. Every step I took, every breath I took, felt like a test of my strength and resilience. The expectations of the people around me were like a constant thunder in my ears, reminding me of the magnitude of the challenge ahead. As an athlete, I knew that pressure was a part of the game. But the intensity of the pressure I faced during those crucial moments was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. It was as if the entire world was watching, waiting for me to stumble and fall. The fear of failure loomed large in my mind, driving me to push myself beyond my limits. The weight of my own dreams and aspirations added to the burden of expectations. I had worked so hard, sacrificed so much, to reach this point in my life. The thought of letting myself down was almost unbearable. I knew that I had to give it my all, leave nothing to chance, if I wanted to succeed. But amidst all the pressure and fear, there was also a spark of determination burning inside me. I refused to let the negativity consume me, to let the doubts cloud my vision. I reminded myself of all the hard work I had put in, all the sacrifices I had made, to get to where I was. I drew strength from the love and support of my family, the belief of my coach, and the faith of my fans. In the end, it was this inner fire that propelled me forward, that helped me overcome the intense pressure I faced. I focused on the task at hand, blocked out the distractions, and ran with all my heart. And when I crossed that finish line, when I achieved my goal, the weight of the pressure lifted off my shoulders, replaced by a sense of pride and accomplishment that I will never forget.
