Unrealistic pressure
A level of pressure that doesn't apply to what is being done. For example, the kind of pressure some people put towards sports, even though sports are not life or death scenarios, is an unrealistic level of pressure put toward something that isn't meant to be taken as seriously as it already is.
Unrealistic pressure goes with unrealistic expectations. Once people try and go beyond doing something for enjoyment to doing it just to break or tie another record, or to make statistics that nobody else has, they have lost sight of why people originally began at sports.
