I learned that having a lot of pride can be a downfall because it is easy to get it crushed. Well to demonstrated how it happened, it was on a rival basketball game (one of my schools biggest games) the gym was pack and before we went out the court my coach explained to me the scathing report on the guy I was guarding for the night and for the first time my coach told me give him space because if pressure was given to the player he will blow right past and score, so I took it kind of disrespectful and not actually considered my coach just looking out and giving me the best advantage went and did the exact opposite in the game. I went in and start pressuring the guy just like my coach told me not to do. At this time the gym is pack and it is down to the fourth quarter tie ball game with two minutes to spare my coach is yelling at me to back up however I felt like I could take this ball from this guy so I jab once missed and after my second jab all that was remember was being on the ground and the gym was going wild. Even though we won that whole week I could not say anything to no one because as soon as I did someone would ask me how those ankles or talk about how I got crossed in some fashioned. Even though it was very embarrassing i took the situation apart and learned two valuable lessons, learn to listen even if sounds ridiculous and also take into account that people who are giving you the advice might know a little more than you. Learn to be humble it is okay to be wrong in your thoughts no one is perfect that’s why people are there with to help get the best out of you.
