In a recent game of pickleball,my teammate and I were falling far behind our competitors. It was her turn to throw the ball. We were both standing behind the baseline(底线),when she nodded at me and said,“In it to win it!”
I looked at her in surprise. I had never seen such an expression on her face.
I used to refuse even the tiniest suggestion that we should be trying to win the game. In my life,I had enjoyed the sports with no winners or losers,and had always preferred to be a spectator(看客)rather than a player in the world of sports.
Then pickleball game came into my life. I started to learn it in my second year of university. Suddenly,I wasn't a spectator any longer. I wanted to be a player myself.
My love for the pickleball is that：it's easy to get started with. The gear(装备)isn't too expensive. It's an easy game to learn,and the players don't need to be especially strong,tall or fast. No wonder that a lot of people can now be seen throwing a green,orange or yellow plastic ball with holes in it across a net.
Pickleball is the first game I've ever wanted to win. The idea comes from the excitement I feel when I score a point. Joining in a sport myself rather than cheering for others provides real proof(证明)that I can still work hard to achieve goals(目标).
So,I've made a decision to continue. I'll forget all the stress while doing something active. In that playful space of the court,I face my fears of losing. Now I wonder what competitions I might be brave enough to enter next.
