well, best game yet! we played better as a team, but we lost. the thing that makes me mad is that it was SO close. 13-15. all we really need is to shoot more! anyway, i am just comepletely sick of losing. i was really actually pissed off. at first i was finding the weak links in our team and picking on them and everything they did wrong....of course not to their faces!! to my mom, who told me something like 'you should not blame them and instead look at the things that YOU can do to get better.' but i heard "you're just as good as them when you decide to pick them apart"
and then i lost it. i was like 'i'm as bad of a loser as all of them?!?!?' but eventually mom calmed me down, relatively. my mom played bball in middle & hs and her uncle was the coach of georgia & florida. so, she knows a lot about the game.
she said that the thing that killed us was when my coach took out the 2 best players (me & colbie) everything we had built up was not held by our teammates and the other team ripped it down, scoring a lot. that was when we lost. we lost the lead, the game, and i seriously lost hope.
my coach is all about team spirit & optimism but me, i'm competetive. I MUST WIN. and when i don't, i get pissed big time.
this is where the game hangover comes in. when i lose, especially with the close game this time, the rest of the night and the next day until noon i am in this 'down' mood. just kind of like 'awww man, beaver dam it' i can't believe we lost. ugh.
