Success would be defined as multiple achievements , and establishments and goals reached that you set for yourself. although my basketball days are not over i think as a high school athlete for basketball i was pretty successful . Middle school i was cut from the 7th grade basketball team and 8th grade i was placed on the B team. I played basketball since birth I traveled I've experienced I've witness I've succeeded I've failed in basketball and when it was time to take that next step to high school , opportunities were at a minimum. I was the leading scorer my freshman year and I received a personal trophy 'MVP' most valuable player and it that year was a success and my JV year my work continued I was the leading scorer for my 10th grade team and achieved a lot of things that season as a team.My junior year had to be the most discouraging/Challenging year for basketball "Varsity" I played behind talented seniors but my senior year it was my time . I was the second leading scorer and i was voted most improved . The success in this was i overcame adversity's and challenges and set backs.Through it all my dad supported me in every step .
Failure is defined as something you came up short in or you went in the wrong direction of success .
I failed at being the best could be , reaching my full potential , living up to expectations of my parents. I've always just did enough and not more I was always capable of more but I only did the minimum .I got opportunities to do great things but I didn't take advantage of them so I failed. I challenge myself to excel and achieve and that's the direction.
does my success or failure influence your personal motivation ? I would say my success motivates me the most because its were i want to be its were i need to be and it puts me in a better state of mind. Failure doesn't motivate as good as success is because I don't recognize the overall picture of success. if I attend a college basketball game and my team I want to win achieves the goal that inspires me and motivates me V.S if my team loses I only see the down side of the situation and it doesn't motivate me it only rubs me the wrong way "That what if feeling" .
