We lost qatar final when we play against No.1 seed in the national championship tournament in 2016. As a team member, I witnessed how great is a team. We lost in overtime but we fighted until the last minute and we pretty much gave all on the court. We made some accomplishments that year but never the best. As No.8 seed facing No.1 seed in the country, it was not easy. However, we only have one goal is that get the championship for UBC since 1972.
We have to prove a lot of things in 2017 that we are the best men’s basketball team in Canada. According to Organizational Behaviour by Langton et al. (2016), “A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable, team members share leadership and the team’s measure of effectiveness is the team’s outcomes and goals, not individual outcomes and goals.”(p.204) We have one mission that is the national championship. Everyone contributes their part into the team, so do I. Walking into the gym and get shots up every morning or evening, motivating others get extra workouts and helping each other on the court and off the court. I am not a super basketball star but I have a clearly goal that is being a great role player on this team. Encouraging my teammates on the court and motivating myself to get better for next year, that is my job. 
This is not only about basketball, but this is also guide myself to be a better person and a better athlete. Understanding what I bring to a team which helps me in my future career too. This journey will help myself to stay strong and being the best I can be.
