“When I signed a contract as an analyst for Overwatch League, it was really hard to step away from competitive play entirely. It was hard to admit that I was retired, so I never did. Mentally, I found it hard to step away.
I was very pessimistic for two or three months. I wasn’t really playing the game, I’d kind of accepted my fate: “I’m never going to make it back, I’m an analyst now. That’s gonna be it.”
But as the OWWC trials drew closer – around April – that’s when I really started grinding again during any free time I got, when I came home from work or had off-days. I realized that maybe it wasn’t the end.”
An article by Reinforce talking a bit about his history in professional overwatch from being a player to being on the desk, the trialing experience to get onto Team Sweden, and feelings returning to the stage
if youre too scared to drive because you are consumed with uncertainty and fear of what to do and youve convinced yourself that youll mess it up and seriously hurt or kill yourself or others and this leaves you dependent on other people and makes you feel like a useless piece of shit clap ur hands *clap clap*
i made this post two years ago and i wanted to make an addition: as of now i have my license and i can drive without being afraid! i wanted to say that for all of the people reblogging this because they relate. i used to be DEATHLY terrified of driving; i would burst into tears just getting behind the wheel and i couldnt drive on the highway because i was so scared
it took a lot of time, patience, and practice, but i hope this maybe gives some of you hope that you too can conquer your fear. there was a time it seemed absolutely impossible for me, but it DID improve. and i believe in you. i believe that you can do it! push your limits slowly and safely. maybe it takes months, years, but theres a light at the end of this tunnel
