I got selected for National Team (luck or hardwork)
When ever the term selection comes to our mind, we dwindle mostly Hardwork and says yeah it was his/her luck otherwise we have seen many peoples who has worked more harder than yours. I have heard many phrase like that , where they neglect the effort and prior it to over luck and faith- is this for real. Actually this has also happened many times it's our luck which pushes us ahead to reach our destination. I'm going to put probably tag, and i can say that it's 50 50 both is important in their own perspective.
It was the mid of this month (September) my friend got the notification that there is basketball tryouts, held in the school which is also switches to a games academy in an evening. I remember when it was 22 September, Thursday evening we all gathered there at university car's parking and decided to reach for tryout. While laughing and gossiping we reached to the destined point. After getting inside of the school, we practice for a while and later on number of girls also joined us. It was like Many girls was there for basketball trails. Well no worries, because as we friends were 9 in number more than playing we enjoyed and played being relax without any pressure. No hurry for selection, we were just enjoying the moment. This went in minutes and after 6:30 pm tryouts ended and everyone already left for their beloved home. Only we nine friends left in the court, and when coach came to us. He told that you all have to come tomorrow too. Then we will gonna select suitable one for team. That moment everyone nodded their head and when it was next evening only four of us went over there and the remaining five quit coming. They excused for not joining us. Well then the squad diverted into a bit boring environment. Well we also did practice and given us our tryout. Same in the end coach told us tomorrow the selection will gonna happen, so you guys have to show up tomorrow too. That day we left the court with no hope and enthusiasm.
Before going to Training center in an evening i visited University gymnasium. Because it was a week that i haven't shown my face to teacher and other mates. But that day was a totally weired day which changed my whole mood. There when I sit with my university gymnasium coach, she being so franked with me told me no one of you is going to be get selected because you guys haven't Experience that much which is needed to appear in a national. Her that saying changed my mood and then I left the hope of getting selection call. I left the university gymnasium with Bad mood and I came home back with 12:40 pm bus after reaching home i reached my bed and closed my mind. I never took any one's saying that seriously but don't know why her words just broke my heart into million pieces. Being sad, i opened my whatsapp there i texted my other three friends that I'm not going to join you guys for today. They insisted me, and motivated me to not skip this training because no one knows what will gonna happen next. I hanged her phone call and again i slept being sad. They were calling me and texting me, but my phone was on silent. Suddenly after taking 1 hour nap my eyes opened and i saw the time still there were 5 minutes left for training to be start. I woke up from my bed and washed my face and did ablution after praying Asar Prayer, i changed my outfit and I asked for the car keys and that moment no one asked where are going and why are you asking for car keys. I drove the car on the speed of 100 km luckily I reached on time and did warm up and stretching. Afterwards I started playing. Then there held a official tough match between us 5 on 5 (full court).
One of my friend snapped my shoot. That was totally unexpected shoot but was quite amazing. Here i converted that shoot into a gif format, so i can easily share my shoot here.
In the evening of that day, coach informed that you fours girls who has shown consistency are know a member of the national team which is going to be held on 3rd October. That was the fantastic news which made my whole day.
