After I knew I made the team I felt a big weight disappear as my nervousness went away. I was relieved that I made the team, I knew I would still have to put in all my effort, and still play to the best of my ability no matter what happens.. We had team meeting that day to get our schedules and find out when we get our uniforms. Our coach had told us we needed to be prepared because we had a game at the end of that week. Our team had won the first game and we were excited because we never practiced as a team before but were able to come together and play as one and end up with a win.
