I am afraid that you underestimate your competition.

I am afraid that you will not go the extra mile.

I am afraid that you aren’t leaving it all on the playing field.

I am afraid that you could have done a little bit more and that it would have been the difference between winning and losing.

I am afraid you are just going through the motions.

I am afraid you are going to hit the snooze button.

I am afraid you are not sweating the small stuff.

I am afraid you are watching television while your competitor is reading a book on sales.

I am afraid that you have forgotten how many people are counting on you.

I am afraid that you aren’t thinking about the consequences.

I am afraid that you are mistaking no action for action.

I am afraid you put too much stock in what other people think.

I am afraid you buy the conventional wisdom.

I am afraid that you believe there is a “do over.”

I am afraid you are not going to take the shot.

I am afraid you will quit inches from the finish line.

I am afraid you are underestimating yourself.

I am afraid you don’t know how good you really are.

What are you afraid of?
