I really like your questions as I feel like they're targeting issues that were not often addressed during this chapter. Indeed, coaches, teammates and family members can pressure you to go over your limits because they project themselves through you. It's not okay to have a parent forces you to do a competition even though you don't feel well and it's important to have a person to talk to about this as it's hard to go against your own family members. Concerning the coaches, it's also something that's clearly overlooked as coaches can be cruel to push you to your limits, I'm particularly thinking about ice skating.

All of your questions are on point and I'm quite jealous to not have come with them myself, apparently I was thinking we were supposed to talk to kids and I missed some questions that are really important for teenagers and young adults.
