Most say their achieve
16、ment is the result of hard work and intense practice. Usually athletes say how hard it is to win the big games. At the opposite end of the spectrum, however, is the fact that losing the big game, or, in my case, all the games, can be even tougher. From the spectators point of view, last years basket
17、ball season for my high school team was an embarrassment. And while 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of, that season had a bigger impact on me than any other, and probably more than any season since.As a team captain, I knew it probably wouldnt be the easiest year, but did I ever think we w
18、ould lose every game? Of course not. Since six of our top players had graduated, it was clear that we were a young team who would struggle. The struggle began earlier than expected, though, as our teams starting center was suspended for the season, and two key members decided to quit after two weeks
19、. At some point, quitting probably passed through every players mind, but, in the end, we all stuck it out, vowing to work even harder.Then there came a time when even our own coach had given up on us. Personally, I felt like it was no longer worth giving my all. I thought, if even the coach didnt b
20、elieve in us, why should I? But just as my hope began to fade, a teammate called a meeting. He said, “Nobody thinks were going to win, but, as teammates and friends, we_owe_it_to_each_other_to_give_it_our_all_every_game.”Sure, it was a little clich (陈旧的), but it was that moment that taught me how to
21、 be a leader. It hit me then that I may have been a captain, but I, like others in my position, certainly didnt deserve the role. 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 captain and make sure everyone w
22、orks 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 me a better leader, and person.
