Today was probably the most embarrassing day. At my job, I work at a packing job and i shoot trash into the garbage can because I like basketball and it brings fun into the job. Then the girl that I like and talk to came to watch me play for the first time at the park. I made 1 shot out of 15 attempts granted it was a higher net than I’m used to but still. Then yesterday, both of the first 2games , I made 10-15 for 3 and then the last one I played horrible again. Feel like I’ve lost all my confidence. Now the girl didn’t seem like she was mad or disappointed or anything. What ways do you help yourself when or If you relate to the feeling?

Im in my school's basketball team and played in the nationals last year, so i know how disappointing it can feel when you play bad. In my case, i listen to music or talk to someone close to me (my cousin) while practicing to counter the frustration
I talked to my dad about it and it helped somewhat since he’s a basketball fan too. He said “everyday is like a new side of a leaf , yesterday is done so make the best of today”. Today also I just got back in the gym and practiced dribbling a little since the baskets weren’t down but did what I could lol but thanks tho
I know that feeling all too well my guy lmaoo. Honestly just gotta own it, everybody has times where they completely f*ck up, even simple tasks you've done a million times, especially if you're nervous (and cute girls tend to make that 10X worse). Look at it like movie bloopers. probably took em a bunch of tries to get it right, but at least they got a kick out of what they were doin, even when they mess up.
Preciate it. Yeah I knew I was playing with some friends but then I saw her coming as well since her brother was playing. Something in my head told me “need to show out, don’t mess up” then yeah the rest is history Lmao. But the crazy thing is the previous day I was crazy like I scored almost all the points in a game to 21 and we won both. Then a complete opposite. I definitely owned up to it and just got back in the gym and worked on what I messed up and next time I see the friends and hopefully she’s there I’ll go off.
