When you're on the high school diving team, get ready for some fails

This goes to show nothing good can come from sports.

If you've ever been pushed into or tried out for a high school sports team, you probably had your fair share of embarrassing moments.

But don't worry, you'll never have to relive them - unless they're posted on social media...

Twitter user Lesley Goynes (@lesleygoynes) shared a cringe-worthy video of a friend over the weekend, failing to gracefully dive into a pool during a high school diving competition.

Although the diver's spirit was filled with confidence, her legs clearly weren't. Instead of a jaw-dropping stunt in mid-air, she ended the dive with her own brand of... originality.

While it may not be Olympic-worthy, the diver definitely gets an A for effort from us.

Twitter users contributed to the hilarious tweet by sharing their own unbelievably embarrassing diving videos showing us that, no matter what, we're all in this together.

Marvel at the concentration, the control, the... OK, never mind.

We're just as shocked at this video as the cat poster on the wall:

The laugh at the end of the video is all of us:

Nope, not quite:

Who's dad is this?

One...two...three....nope:

Now that's what we call diving in style.
