This weekend my soccer team played in a tournament in Platteville. I really felt like we were all connecting and having a great time together. I didn't feel alone at all. I felt like I was a part of a nice group. I think that this helped us all win the tournament together. If we hadn't been together and working well as a team, we would have lost terribly. Instead, we united, and we won all of our three games.
I think that that's the nice thing about sports. Teams seem to lose and win together. When you win, there is even more a feeling of being together. It's nice to be on a team because it helps you to not have to be alone.
If you want...you should tell me about a time that you felt that being on a team really helped you feel like you were part of a group.... (:
I definitely felt like I was part of the team too, and I also agree with your prediction that we would have lost terribly if we hadn't worked together. I think that sports bring people together, but teams don't always utilize this great benefit. Our team definitely grew closer at this tournament, and we won, and it felt awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is very similar to what I wrote about for a time that I felt I was a part of a group. First, congrats on winning the tournament; that's awesome. Second, three of my four years of high school basketball I truly felt like a real part of a group. My junior year, especially. We were all pretty close, and our success just made us closer. It started when we won conference and had a huge game vs Edgerton, and then we just spent more and more time together when the tournament came around. We were very successful because of it. I don't think there's anything better than a team to make you feel like you belong.
