January 8 Basketball

_______VS. Leland High School This was the day I've literally lost my temper. I let my anger go like crazy. Why has this happened? I wanted to impress them. The crowd. I didn't want to make a mistake a make a fool out of myself. Through that, I wanted to seem like nothing can stop me. Including, I was too prideful. I've lost faith in God, I lost faith in the team. I've taken charge of my own body and I've put myself out there like an idiot. There were some good plays and horrible plays that embarrassed me like crazy. But this wasn't about me, it was for the team. Because when one person is not working, or if one person takes personal charge, it effects the team, it effects the game. At the beginning at most games I would pray for good outcomes. Instead, I've received a lesson to learn and make it the center of my attention. I went out of the 4th period of the basketball game, I made a Technical foul. I was dribbling the ball when a girl in front of me comes up and just takes the ball away from me. I held the ball tight as if a mother would never let go of her baby. Soon we fell to the ground, and I felt a BIG kick in the back! People told me a girl slid and kicked me and also trying to get the ball away from me. So, After the whistle was blown, both the players let go of the ball, and my hand slips out causing me to throw it at the coach because I was pissed off that they still wouldn't let go after the whistle was blown. So I was called for a Technical. Most people loved it, thought it was awesome, but I was just totally embarrassed. I was also embarrassed for the fact that I couldn't bring the team back up with points, after scoring 6 points in a row catching up to the other team; we were down by 3 points. As a result, the score was 40 something to 20 something. So I was a little disappointed in myself. But alls wells that ends well. I've learned my lesson to calm down and take control of the ball and myself. So I won't be playing much in the next game, but hopefully I can stay calm.
