Written by This week I had the enjoyment of watching my daughter’s basketball game. This basketball game was the championship game for her division. The team had played this team twice before. They lost by 30 points the first time and 18 points the second time. They played many games to make it to this championship game. Coach J was an amazing coach. This team started with many new players without much experience. He taught them to work as a team to do well in the games. He worked with every player to help them to get to their full potential. The game was very close at the end. The other team won by only one point. While the team was disappointed in the outcome they should be proud of how hard they worked. They worked hard all season and especially that game. They played the game well. Winning is not only about coming in first. It is about never giving up and doing the best you can. I am so proud of the team and my daughter.
Life had many lessons to learn from experiences. I have had many competitions in my life. I have rarely come in first. I always know if I try to do my best I have never lost. I am a winner even if I did not win first place. My daughter’s team are winners and always will be.
