Shut your eyes
Run like a wind; bat the ball as if you're dashing a plate on your enemy's face, smash like hell so that your opponent shall fall on his knees to save the shuttle; rally like your hand is as much fast as your wink but doesn't miss a thing; shoot the ball like a toddler is tiptoeing to get a lollipop on a table which is 5-inch taller than him; and attack like the goalie can't prevent the move.
Then you'll score a bull's eye or checkmate a chess wizard. Your heart will be jumping off your rib cage figuratively. And you, being puffed up with high esteem will bring it on again in the next game. You turn your head up, pronounce "thanks" and look forward for the next battle.
But when you lose after giving it your all, you slam the door at the hackneyed you-didn't-actually-fail-you-learn drama because what you feel is more melodramatic than any It's-ok-try-your-luck- next-time consolation. Thus, you wallow on your disappointment, shame, and remorse because you feel like you are a failure. However, when you heave a sigh then scan the crowd after a match, you'd feel better with the thought "At least I try" especially when you catch someone giving you a you-are-also-great smile. You just can't imagine how the audiences hold their breath then shout hurrah because you're giving their bet a fair and good match. There is no reason to dampen a heart out of loss, learn that the crowd's whoopee is not only for their bets, it is because they fear you could edge up their bet.
You may wonder why sports is a big thing when the least it can do is just entertain. Oh no, not actually just entertain. Who knows about gambling, bet you already stake your P5, 000, less, or more for Celtics on Finals. Ouch! Lakers won.
But that isn't the point. You stride like a horse on the field only that a horse does not have its legs shivering a bit from tension. With muscles contracting, you gave it a shot. You wanted to finish first as if it is a matter of life and death race. Then you picture out reality as if you are chasing a hottie who is trying to score with your girl, you don't mind who's on your next lane because you only want one thing and that is to win back your life again. Because you think, your life is where your heart is. You wanted to win because you are not only fond of the word "win" but also the heaven-like feeling reaching the goal first.
Then the next thing you'll know is your lovey-dovey girl will break up with you, you suddenly turn to another girl target and bore down so you can win her. But you are too sloppy so you could not even ascend to the first base. Eventually, you realize that you only need to hone your masculine disposition; only bat a good pitch and run fast to score. So you think to have a good timing in courting a lady. The next time it's a homerun.
Your new life unfolds in ways you never expected, until she smashes you with all the drama she kept for making her your rebound. You take a fast break with the hopes that you could convince her instantly for making extra effort to please her. But you are wrong, she calls a time out.
You resorted to finding another girl to fool around with, dribble her a bit as if you got a right to maneuver her whole life but your opponents also try to gain her. When you seem to be caught off guard, her heart falls on whoever gets her. But you take so much pride that even in a delicate situation you nutmegged so they can't lay their feet on her.
There is so much in sports that can be likened to life's vicissitudes. How you manage to strike, exert clandestine efforts to hit the bull's eye, shoot without miss, smash to score, and kick to reach the goal. Such will always be grounded on the people who have molded you to be the man you are now, to those hearts you have touched, lips that for some time you made smirked now agape with wonder and eyes that have imbibed learning just seeing you fight. It isn't about the number of games you won but people you have earned not how many players you beat but how many of them have been your true friends. Hence, if your dreams turn to dust, you have these people to vacuum it for you.
