That moment when you’re sitting at awards. Waiting for your division with your second family. You’re all sitting super close because there’s not much room on the floor. Your division is called, you’re all holding hands, got your heads down, everyone of you is praying you don’t hear your name. They call 10th and everybody gives a thumbs up. After 9 you’re all smiling now. 8. 7. 6. 5. Fourth is called and it’s not you. You’re sure you got 3rd. The other teams were so good, right? Third place is called, and you congratulate the girl sitting next to on that team. You all bow your heads again, and look at the other team waiting to be called. The announcer jokes around and the butterfies are just flapping around in your stomach. When the other team is called for second, you have the largest grin. You smile, but don’t get too excited like those snobby teams that flip out when another team is called. You are called for first place and you SCREAM and SHOUT and JUMP and SQUEAL and BOUNCE. The entire team feels ecstatic. Looking in the crowd, you see your coaches and parents screaming and clapping for you. Remember this feeling? Next time you think about giving 5% at practice. Remember this feeling and WORK for it.
