Lessons Learned

One of the biggest premonitions that i have ever had was right before my first basketball game of the season. My team and i were on our way to play the hardest team in the league and i was freaking out. For some reason i kept feeling like someone was going to get badly injured during the game, and that someone was going to be me. All my friends told me that i was just freaking myself out and i would be fine but i still felt like i was going to get hurt. Within the first ten seconds of the game i went up to block a shot and the girl on the opposite team pushed me down. I landed on my wrist backwards and the impact snapped it. Because of that one shot i blocked i was out for the whole season. If i just would have been a little more careful and went with my gut feeling i probably would have been fine for the season. The reason that i neglected listening to my gut feeling is because i really wanted to win the game. We had never beaten the team so the whole team was working really hard. If i just would have been a little more careful we might have won. I also thought that maybe i was just freaking myself out so i just ignored my feelings. overall i am sad that i broke my wrist and we lost the game but it taught me a good lesson, to listen to myself when something really doesn't feel right.
