A lot of times in sport if you try to tell the truth it seem

Summary

This quote suggests that in the world of sports, being honest about one's performance or shortcomings may often be mistaken for making excuses. It implies that speaking the truth about the challenges or reasons behind a poor performance can be perceived as an attempt to justify or rationalize one's failures, rather than an honest assessment of the situation. This highlights the tendency in sports to place emphasis on success and downplay or dismiss any explanations that may seem like excuses, thereby discouraging athletes from openly expressing their genuine experiences and struggles.
