Overall,
the game of basketball can be associated with all professions or future
aspirations. Even though our current
economy has created a competitive job market, society cannot simply give up and
decide not to work. Society’s drive to
succeed in a tough economic time relates to the members of the Charger’s
basketball team that continue to put forth the effort to complete demanding
workouts.
A
main component of the game of basketball is effort, but many do not realize the
small things that the game indirectly teaches athletes. Whether our team has conditioning, practice,
or weight lifting, our coach stresses the importance of being on time. If you show up on time, it lets everyone know
that you truly care about the task at hand.
Even though it is considered common courtesy to be prepared, members of
our team tend to be unprepared at times.
Consequently, a lack of preparation derives from a lack of attention to
details. Therefore, our team must listen
and pay attention to whoever is providing the information or directions to win
a championship. For example, some of my
teammates will mess up a drill because they are unaware of what is going
on. In basketball, the game is won by
the team who commits the least amount of mistakes. For that reason, we cannot afford to make the
same mistakes twice and have to capitalize on the mistakes of others. On the other hand, it is a necessity to have
a great attention to details in the workplace.
One does not want to consistently deliver inaccurate work to their
boss. Yet, sometimes it is okay to make
mistakes both on the court and in the office because you only learn from your
mistakes.
