The article is an excerpt from the autobiography of Mary Earps, a British footballer, titled "Mary Earps: All In". The passage describes her decision to retire from international football and her complicated relationship with her manager, Sarina Wiegman.

At first, Earps agrees to continue playing for England despite feeling uncertain about her performance against her teammate, Ellie Curry. However, she soon realizes that she made a mistake and decides to be honest with Wiegman, explaining that she never truly believed in herself or the team's chances of success.

The article suggests that life puts individuals in similar situations repeatedly, forcing them to learn new lessons each time. Earps' journey with Wiegman serves as an example of this concept, as she gains confidence from her manager but ultimately has to confront the reality of her own abilities and limitations.
 
🤔 I mean, can you blame Mary Earps for feeling that way about herself? She was always struggling to find her footing on the field, and it's not like she was getting any younger 😬. Her relationship with Wiegman is super complicated, but at the end of the day, it's all about learning from your mistakes, right? I love how Earps finally found the courage to be honest with herself (and her manager) 🙏. It's a tough pill to swallow, but sometimes you gotta face the music and accept that not everything is gonna go according to plan 💔. And honestly, I think it's kinda inspiring that she was willing to take a chance on herself all over again 🔥.
 
[🤦‍♀️😳] Sarina Wiegman's reaction when Mary Earps told her she never believed in herself... 🙄 [image of a person being told they're wrong, with a " 😳" face] Life is like a soccer game - sometimes you score, sometimes you get kicked out. But at least Mary Earps tried? 🤷‍♀️ [gif of a person shrugging]
 
🤔 I'm not buying it... if Mary Earps felt so uncertain about herself and the team's chances, why did she agree to play in the first place? 🏈 And what's with this whole 'she never truly believed in herself' thing - that just sounds like a cop-out to me. 💁‍♀️ I need some actual proof or context before I start sympathizing with her struggles. Where's the video footage of her having these doubts during games? Or interviews where she admits to feeling overwhelmed? 📹 Just seems like a convenient narrative to me, you know? 😐
 
I think Mary Earps' decision to retire early is actually kinda a blessing in disguise 🤔. People always go on about how you can bounce back from setbacks and prove doubters wrong, but what if that's just not true for everyone? Earps seems like someone who's constantly questioning herself and her team's abilities - maybe she's more perceptive than we think. Retiring early means she doesn't have to deal with the pressure of constant expectation and scrutiny, which can be pretty suffocating. Plus, it shows that sometimes you gotta take care of yourself, even if that means walking away from something you love. It's like, what if Earps is actually more self-aware than we think? 🙄
 
I had a sports class in school where we did these trust falls thingy... anyway, I was thinking about this article and it made me think about how life is like trying out those trust falls all over again 🤸‍♀️. We're all just trying to figure things out and sometimes we take risks, make decisions, and then realize we messed up 🤦‍♀️. But here's the thing - it's okay to mess up! That's how we learn, right? I mean, Mary Earps didn't exactly have the best experience with her manager, but she tried again and that's what matters 💪. It's like when you try something new and it doesn't go well at first, but then you get back at it and finally nail it 🎯. That's growth, right? And I think that's what this article is saying - life throws us curveballs, but we can always learn from them and come out stronger 💕.
 
I feel like I've been through something similar in my online life 🤯... you know when you're trying to fit into a certain community or be part of a group, but really you don't quite belong? That's how Mary Earps felt with the England team and her manager Sarina Wiegman - like she was just going through the motions. I think it takes a lot of courage to step back and admit when we're not cut out for something, especially if we've invested so much time and energy into it 🙏... it's a hard lesson to learn, but it sounds like that's what Earps needed to do in order to move forward 💪.
 
I don’t usually comment but I think it’s crazy how sometimes we know deep down that we’re not good at something or that we're in over our head but we still keep going just because we feel like we have to. It's like, Mary Earps was totally right to be honest with herself and her manager, you know? She didn't want to hold anyone back or waste their time, and I think that takes a lot of guts.

It's like life is full of these tiny lessons where we're forced to confront our own weaknesses or limitations. It sounds kinda cheesy but it's true! We might not realize it at first, but every experience – whether it's sports, relationships, work or whatever – has the potential to teach us something new about ourselves.

I'm definitely going to have to check out this autobiography of Mary Earps'... I don't know if she's gonna be my new favorite athlete or anything 😂
 
I feel like Mary Earps is totally relatable you know? I've been in situations where I thought I was doing the right thing but really I was just holding on for fear of looking weak 🤔. Life's a bit like that, keeps testing us out and we gotta learn from our mistakes. I think it's super brave of her to be honest with Sarina Wiegman about how she was feeling, it takes a lot of guts to admit when you're not sure what's going on inside 🙏. And you know what? It's okay to not have all the answers and make mistakes, that's just part of growing up 💪. I wish more people could understand that 🤗.
 
Can u believe Mary Earps had 2 start playin 4 England despite feelin like trash? 🤦‍♀️ I mean, i get it, we all have those moments where we think we can pull off somethin but really we're just pretendin'. It's all about learnin from our mistakes, tho. Earps was brave 2 admit she wasn't good enough & that takes a lot of courage 🙌. She also learned 2 trust herself & her manager Sarina Wiegman, which is key in buildin confidence. We can all relate 2 feelin uncertain or overwhelmed but the thing is, we gotta keep pushin forward 💪. It's like, life gives us new challenges every day, an' it's up 2 us 2 learn from 'em & grow 🌱.
 
I feel like Mary Earps is a great example of how we all go through phases where we're trying to prove ourselves to others... or even ourselves 😐. I mean, who hasn't felt that way about their performance at work or school? But what's really interesting to me is how she starts to question her own abilities and it takes some time for her to realize she was holding herself back. It's like, we get these big goals in our heads but sometimes they're just not meant to be 🏆. I think that's one of the things I love about sports, it forces you to confront those feelings and grow as a person... or athlete 🤸‍♀️. And it sounds like Sarina Wiegman was actually really supportive for her, even if she didn't agree with Earps' approach 🙏.
 
I feel like Mary Earps was just trying to figure out if she could actually do it - you know, play football for England and stuff... 🤣 And honestly, who hasn't been there right? Like, I was practicing my 'online gaming face' the other day and realized I'm pretty bad at it too 😂. Seriously though, it's crazy how life keeps throwing us curveballs and we gotta keep trying to figure ourselves out. Guess that's just part of being human, right? 🤷‍♀️
 
I feel like Earps is totally relatable 🤯. I mean, who hasn't doubted ourselves at some point? 😅 It's so easy to get caught up in the pressure and expectations of others, but really, it's about understanding your own strengths and weaknesses.

Imagine a Venn diagram with "confidence" on one circle and "self-doubt" on the other... Earps is like trying to merge those two circles 🔄. She starts off thinking she can do it (thanks to Wiegman's encouragement), but then realizes, nope, I'm not as confident in myself as I thought 😔.

It's all about learning from our mistakes and accepting where we stand. And honestly, I think Earps' experience is a reminder that it's okay to ask for help and work on building our self-confidence 💪. Life might throw us curveballs, but with the right mindset, we can turn those into growth opportunities 🌱.
 
I remember when I first watched a female football match, it was like watching magic on the pitch 🤩. Now, Mary Earps is speaking out about her experience with Sarina Wiegman, and honestly, it's pretty relatable. We've all been there where we put our foot down but end up struggling. Earps made that rookie mistake, but it's awesome she owned up to it and was honest with Wiegman. It's like, life gives us those same tough lessons over and over until we get it right 😊. I love how Earps' journey shows that even though our managers can give us the confidence boost we need, at the end of the day, we gotta listen to ourselves too 👍.
