After winning a big game，athletes are often asked how they feel．Usually athletes say how 36 it is to win this big game．On the contrary，the fact is that losing a big game，or in my case，all the games，can be even harder．

It was that moment that 49 me how to be a leader．It hit me that I certainly didn’t 50 the role．As a leader you can never quit 51 the team who looks up to you．It is one 52 to be named captain，feel great and go through the motions，but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone realizes their full 53 all the time．
I am sure it is great to go through without losing and bringing home awards．But in all honesty，I 54 the fact that my team lost every game last year．It may not help me to become a better basketball player，but it already has made me a better leader，and 55．
