Is it normal to be insecure in sports?

Well I don't know if I should be proud that I'm a swimmer, I don't even know if I should consider myself. Every time I train my insecurities are eating me alive, cause my other swim mates are already like a pro. They're already competing in different country. While me, im just a bummer. Right now, it's been one week and not continuing my swimming, I want to give up, maybe swimming is not my thing.

    I love sports, play them all the time. It's normal to feel insecure or inadequate, but there's no reason to. I used to be self conscious that I wasn't very good at football, so I just told people when I messed up, "I'm not that good yet, sorry!" And I would go home and study and practice to get better.

    Stop comparing you with guys better or quicker than you, you are not swiming for them, you are swiming for you (you decide that)

    Dont give up!

    Its the attitude that counts, and if you push yourself to become really good, you can.
