Impostor syndrome as it applies to an NFL player, per ChatGPT:
- Attributing Success to Luck: Believing that their achievements are due to luck, timing, or others' mistakes rather than their own skill, effort, and hard work.
- Fear of Being Exposed: Constantly worrying about making mistakes or having a bad game, fearing that it will "prove" they aren't as good as people think.
- Comparing Themselves to Others: Feeling inadequate when comparing themselves to teammates or opponents, even if they are performing at a high level.
- Downplaying Achievements: Minimizing their accomplishments or attributing them to external factors, like a great team or coaching, rather than their own contributions.
We don't know what's going on in Lawrence's mind. Maybe he thinks the coach isn't helping, That 3rd down pass to D'Ernest Johnson was a poor choice or playcall.
I know kicker's are prone to self-doubt. Coaches too, which might be the case for Pedersen, and McDaniel if their offense doesn't get fixed when Tua returns.
