Have you ever had an occasion where you could prove you were better than someone? What about a time when you lost control and over-reacted to something? Sure you have, at least once in your life. When spring first arrived, I was very excited because the lacrosse season was starting, I surely had missed it since I hadn't played fall ball.

At the first practice, I was amazed at what I saw; we had all the best players in our team, including players that should have been on "B" or even "A" teams. I was sure that this year, unlike last year, we would win the tournament and get accepted into the Big-Dog tournament.
