As a leader you can never quit on the team who looks up to you. It is one thing to be named captain, but it is quite another to be a real
22、captain and make sure everyone works to their potential all the time.I am sure it is great to go through high school without losing and bringing home awards. But I relish the fact that my team lost every game last year. It may not help me to become a better basketball player, but it already has made
