I'm the same age so similar experience of falling short often.
I pretty much said to my Wife yesterday that I was giving up on sports. I follow 3 sports teams across different sports and over the last 4-5 years I've seen those 3 teams come very close to winning 10 trophies but ultimately fall at the penultimate or final hurdle.
It's hugely frustrating but if you want to win big in sports, you need to be willing to lose big too.
