Most people do not recognize the second best, all they focus on is the best. Which is why contestants try to be the best because that is all that matters to them.
In most cases, the second best is not referenced but attention is mainly given to the first. This can be discouraging when you are the second best. Effort made should be rewarded, whether first or second best. The effort put into things should be well appreciated.
Now, I do not let pressure overwhelm me. I do things at my pace and with the level I am able to handle. Whether it comes out first or not, i make sure I am happy with what I am doing. The joy of doing it is all that matters, I love enjoying whatever I am doing. I also want to win, and I discovered that you eventually win when you do things happily. It is enjoyable to do it well.
Do it well, don't follow the grades.
Second best is not all that bad.
