Embarrassing moment: Playing basketball

When I was 8 years old, at first grade, we were playing basketball at the Physical Education class, and of course I wanted to be a success and win the game. But I had never played basketball, so I wasn´t a good player. I was under pressure because all of my friends were thinking I was good at playing basketball. At the end of the match, my team was losing by one point and the ball was in my hand, so I had to score to win the match, but it was impossible for me to score at that distance. At that moment, I had my eyes closed and I pitched the ball, but it didn’t touch the basketball table. I was embarrassed. After this, all my friends were furious because we had lost the match. After this, I thought I had to improve my basketball skills to help my team and make up a new style of playing basketball, and look for a professional career in the basketball world.
