absolutely not. i am more likely to encourage

I’ve thought about that several times, honestly. I hope with everything in me that I haven’t. I’ve always tried to be there for people and do the best I could for those I care about.

no, fortunately. That would be a horrible feeling.

Yes, but only because it is a natural process in the field of athletics. If you are significantly better than someone else, sometimes they give up, despite any encouragement you might give them.

No

No.
