Expectations With Preparations

Let's there was a big game coming up, and you say that it's going to be a win for your team this time around. Well, there better be a follow-through to that. To expect to win or overcome any challenge is no piece of cake. Success requires work, one can't go without the other. Though they're always hard to meet, when it is achieved, I tell you, the reward is too great!

Being a basketball player gives you that sense of perseverance, to not settle for just being content with second place. It's the worst place to be in. But to play a good game, win or lose, gives you a satisfaction like no other. There is no head-bowing or sour-graping, only pride for knowing that that was the best you could do (the other team just had a better best than you).

You can't expect to succeed without readying yourself to face whatever it is that will lead you on your way. Expect to fail, don't be surprised that you did. Expect to win, work for it.

Big game today. 1 practice day. Hopefully, the other team had none.

And, have the right team.
