Taking nothing for granted
But that bond doesn’t come without its challenges.
We all want to win, and we’re all driven to do whatever it takes to get to where we need to be to succeed. But it’s hard to let things go sometimes too, you know?
You lose a game, and you’re always talking to your teammates about it. What went wrong? What can we do to fix it? Is this something we need to worry about in the future?
It starts to become hard to block that kind of stuff out and just move on to the next game. Sometimes, it’s real easy to get caught up and linger on those bad experiences.
But then you realize this experience isn’t just about wins and losses.
It’s about appreciating a moment that may not come again for any of us.
Every soccer kid growing up dreams of turning professional one day and playing for one of the top leagues, but as you get older, you realize not everybody is going to make it.
So it’s important to me to make the most of this opportunity here at SMU, and just enjoy every moment together as a team.
