"You’ve probably experienced this before: You’re sitting on the bench, watching your coach, waiting for the signal to go check in… and it never comes. Your team mates finish out the game and you never touch the game ball. You sit in the locker room after each game wishing you were tired and sweaty like everyone else, and hating the fact that you didn’t play in the most important part of basketball: the game!

Or perhaps yours is a different situation: you were on the court, trying to remember all the things you know are supposed to happen, and not understanding why you never seem to contribute anything to the game. Maybe you took a couple shots and missed them all-- or perhaps you threw a turnover or a bad pass. Maybe you dropped the ball or were stolen from. All the while you were thinking about how angry the coach would be later at your bad performance-- and you had no idea how to fix it!"
