Writing Assignmtnt 3

This time I'd like to focus on "mistakes" mentioned in chapter 4.

As you know, when we play some sports, we make some mistakes like an error in baseball games. The responsibility of the mistake is quite big especially in teamsports because only one mistake can lead the team to lose the game.
In fact, when I was the member of a basketball team in my Jr. highschool, the other members except me were better players than me. I ofetn made mistakes in games and felt guilty that the team lost because of me.
I ofetn got into a so-called slump, which I felt so depressed that I couldn't play well at all.

However, one day my coach said to me, "Everyone makes mistakes and you have next chances even if you make mistakes, so never mind during the game."
After that I decided to change the way of reacting to mistakes. When I made mistakes, I tried to make up for it by performing a good play. And then I got able to play without being afraid of making mistakes.
Also, although I didn't have good skills of basketball compared with other teammates, I have a confidence in my stamina, so I tried to make use of it. I kept runnnig hard unitl the end of the game though other mambers got exhausted around the end of the game.
I thought that was one of the contributions to the team.
After changing my thought, I could recover from my slump naturally.

I larned that thinking too much about mistakes and only getting depressed was meaningless, and the atitude that trying to learn from mistakes and see the next chances were important.
I think this is true for other situations other than sports.


I'm afraid that my reaction is not the answer expected in Expedition Log, but this is what came to my mind after reading chapter 4.
I'm sorry to post late.
