I have made countless mistakes throughout my life. Although I don’t usually regret my mistakes, I try to learn from them. I describe my most recent “regretted” mistake. Just this past weekend I had tryout for a New Jersey state team. The tryouts are invitational only for college players, players out of college, and a few selected that are still in high school. I tried out for the same team last year and stood a very little chance of making it. This year I felt it would be the same.
To my surprise, I was not. I have grown as a player and at times I felt just a equal as the players around me. I did not believe in myself and did not capitalize from it. The problem was I had already predicted the outcome of the tryouts before I even got there; I told myself I would not make the team and that I didn’t really want it. When the selections came out most of my friends in my age group made it and I did not. I know that its not because they are better then me, it’s because I didn’t truly want it and I didn’t truly believe in myself. That’s an everyday mistake that I must continue to work on.
