The Extra in the Ordinary (Zi Yuan)

It's very ordinary for people to say that we keep losing. But the problem is that nobody sees the hard work that we put in. We train hard during training, play during recess and give our all during the match. Even if we are tired, we still keep pushing on. Sometimes people say that we don't work hard enough and that's why we don't win. But what they see is the result and not the process. So they cannot say anything about us because they don't know what we do. "The game of basketball is a game of accepting failure; of accepting imperfection; of realizing that the perfect game has never been played, never will be played, or ever could be played. It is far better to shoot an airball than to not shoot at all for fear of missing." Tony Alfonso. You miss 100% of the shots you don't make. So we as basketballers make it a point to try a hard as we can. "I want to practice to the point where it's almost uncomfortable how fast you shoot, so that in the game things kind of slow down." Stephen Curry.
