It’s frowned upon to brag about yourself. But I feel like it’s good to hype yourself up, even if it is a little bit extreme or out of the ordinary! Post in this thread celebrating yourself and letting others know something you’re really good at! I’ll start…

I’m a really good coach. Strength and conditioning primarily but athletics overall. If an athlete comes to me and they have the mindset of improvement it’s a damn near guarantee that I will increase their athleticism and make them stronger, faster, more powerful, etc. I’ve trained young kids to become dominant high school athletes, high school athletes to get full ride scholarships to D1 universities, D1 athletes to get drafted to the NFL, MLB, and NBA, and I even trained a couple of professional athletes as well! All that said in a REALLY good strength and conditioning coach.

What can you brag about?!

    I’m always a little surprised when I look into the population MMR distribution for games I play a lot. I’m often in like the top 5% or better in the kind of games I play a lot. But… I suck at them. I don’t feel like I know what I’m doing and when I look at streamers who are actually good at the game, it’s not like they’re just a more refined version of me, it’s like they’re playing a different game.

    So I like to describe myself as being “the top of the trash heap.”

      I think that is actually a thing/ the whole high- achieving / highly-skilled people feeling like they aren’t capable or don’t know nearly as much as they do. I’ve seen a lot of joking memes about it, the way that beginners are super self conscious and hesitant because they feel like they know nothing, average level people feel super confident because they have learned so much from the time they knew nothing and now feel empowered, and people who are highly skilled and experienced feel as though they don’t know anything simply because they have enough of a grasp of what it is that they are doing to fully understand the breadth of things they do not understand and cannot (yet) do well.

      I think your statement pretty well puts you in the latter group. Congratulations on your high percentile! I wish you much happy gaming and satisfaction. :)
