Proactivity

"There are some people who interpret "proactive" to mean pushy, aggressive, or insensitive; but that
isn't the case at all. Proactive people aren't pushy. They're smart, they're value driven, they read
reality, and they know what's needed."

Tsakoys vs No-Na-Me

This is the best game I've ever played!

This is one epic game too!

We are considered underdogs because of the opponents' heights.  But we manage to lead in the first half.  In the game we appear to be stronger because of our scoring ability and rebounding as well as defense.

I didn't start the game.  I entered 2nd quarter.  As soon as I touched the ball, I felt a different confidence from inside.  I passed the ball to the wing and he passed it back.  Having the confidence I never had, I drove right with my head up, seeing everyone on the floor, I passed the ball to Mow and got my first assist.  Then every possession I successfully manage to assist my teammates.  I was not afraid to turn the ball over for I was so confident with my dribbling skills.

I defended hard too.  Nobody can break the defense I was giving.

But I didn't play that long.  I was just a substitute for this team and I understood it.  Then, we lost.

It was an epic game and I am certain that I did a very good job that I don't need anybody to give me compliments.

The key was Patience and Confidence.

After the game, No-Na-Me's players said that I should be playing for them.  It was some sort of sweet revenge that I manage to give them a hard fought game.  I was contented with the outcome.  It was fun and I manage to show my skills.  That's what sports are all about.  Winning is just secondary.

Lost to Rookies?

I thought our game was 10:30 but it started at 9.

I was late. 

I arrived at the end of first half and the score was 6-21 in favor of the rookies.  I was confident that we can chase the lead down.  I started the 2nd half.  I saw my team mates' shots missing badly.

The thing is I tried to keep calm and patient just like what I learned from AJ.  I played a passer and a defender.  The game turned into our side.  

The lead came down to 4.  Until I turned the ball over and the opponent successfully made a 3 point shot.

I was leading the team to victory but I felt like that one wrong move turned it all out.

It's not too late, there's still plenty of time but my team mates' shots was missing again.  I cannot drive to the hoop for an easy score because the team we're against are taller than me.  

I didn't feel like I did my best because I hesitated a lot.  I wasn't comfortable with my dribbling skills that time.  I turned the ball over twice.  My defense wasn't that solid.

Then I was tired 5 mins left on the clock.  I sitted on the bench and watch them play.  I was disappointed with my turnovers because I let my team mates down.  We lost.

Everyone was sad but I still have a smile on my face making them feel like I'm confident that we will win the next games.

AJ, who was very disappointed, told me that my game had improved a lot and that if I were in the court in the first quarter there's no chance the opponent will lead.  That compliment was one of the best because I know AJ never compliment people just for the sake of making them feel good. 

Now, that's a booster for me.  

Next game, more confidence.

Nobody can steal the ball away from me.  I am fast and accurate.  I am a tight defender.

I wont have any turnover again.

I think 2 steps ahead.

I will win.
