Sandbagged: Are You Kidding Yourself?
It's the new buzzword that's been around forever: sandbagged.
"That 10c is definitely more like 11b!"
"That CAN'T be 12a... I NEVER fall off of 12a!"
"This is WAY harder than the other two 13a's I've done, so it MUST be 13d! At least!"
Or more precisely...
"BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!"
Funny, I never hear, "Damn, that 10d kicked my ass. I guess I've got some things to learn," or, "That 13a felt pretty hard to me, I guess I should actually work on slopers for a while."
Nope. Instead, we blame the grades. The numbers. The proposed suggestions of vague measurement.
You're kidding yourself. Worse, you're stunting your growth. Holding yourself back. Even worse than that, if your friends believe your bullshit, you're holding them back as well…
