I hate when people tell me im good at field hockey.?

Question

ive been playing field hockey since 2nd grade and i play year round. people on my school team, seacoast team, and futures team tell me im really good. but for some reason it makes me feel like i have to push myself even harder when they tell me that so it just stresses me out more. how do i tell them that without sounding mean? and why do you think i do this?

Answer 1

Just compliment them back or say that you have just been playing for a long time. Don't put any unnecessary stress on yourself, it's not healthy.

Answer 2

I agree with carebear!!
