the lights are too bright

used when a sports person at an elite level is intimidated by the situation (finals, quarterfinals, semifinals, etc.) and hence puts in a bad performance, a disasterclass.

this sportsperson usually looks like the real deal at stages of the competition when the expectation to perform isn’t as strong, like the first few weeks of the league season

can also be used to describe the most elite levels in sports (Champions League knockout stages, World Cup, Qualifying for any Grand Prix, etc)

- “0 goals, 0 assists, 0 key passes and went of with an injury. I’m afraid the lights are too bright for Kevin de Bruyne”

The lights were too bright

When someone reaches for greatness with the intention of performing, but the moment becomes too big and they fold under the pressure. Used when someone can’t handle the spotlight once all the attention is on them.

“They called him the next superstar, but when the championship came, the lights were too bright.”
