The Envious Athlete.

Their squash is better than your squash because they’re playing right now and you’re just watching.

Envying the other players skills, fitness or opportunity should inspire you towards optimal training.

Envying the opponents kill shots should inspire one to practice our own kill shots.

Envy is the symbol of a loser who probably won’t work towards becoming a success.

The truest mark of being born with great qualities is expressed in optimal training.

The envious athlete grows leaner with each success of the opposition.

Envy implies self recognition of ones inferiority at something, thus should lead towards superior training.

Happiness and envy can be barriers to improvement. Too happy with a component of ones athleticism leads towards stagnation or deterioration. Too envious about anothers athletic component leads towards loss of agency.

The envious athlete dies not once, but every time their opponents win applause.
