I am up at the plate there is two strikes, three balls, and my team is down one run in the last inning of the game. I've been preparing for this moment sense I was playing T-ball when I was 7 years old. All of the games, all the practices, all th blood, sweat, and tears.
So hear I am, my team is down a run and I'm up to bat. I have pretty good power behind my swing, so I could try to score the run by myself. But then I remember we are down by one with two outs to work with. With that in mind, all I have to do is get on base so that someone behind me can move me along the bases and hopefully get me home.
But I am getting ahead of myself now, there is two strikes, three balls and the pitcher the pitcher throws the ball. My first look at the ball tells me that it is a fastball. I lift my front leg up and down and start the motions of my swing. Right when I'm about to let loose my swing I notice that the ball is drifting outside of the strike zone. I freeze every part of my body, and halt all of my motions. I hear the Umpire yell "Ball" and my dugout goes nuts. I just smile a little bit and jog down to first base as the game tieing run.
This event shows that i am a very good team player, and would work well with others. This is because when my team was down a run and we had two outs I could have just tried to hit it out of the park, but instead I took the walk so I could get on base, and hopefully my teammates can knock me home. It also shows that I can Identify the situation, and can work well under pressure, these are all important qualitys to have.
