Introduction

There was a time when I hated mirrors.
Not just for how I looked — but for what I felt.

Too quiet. Too awkward. Too unsure of myself.

Then I started playing sports.
And little by little, I started believing in the person I saw.

It Didn’t Happen Overnight

I was slow.
Missed shots.
Got picked last.

But I showed up.
Again.
And again.

And that mattered more than being the best.

The First Time I Scored, Everything Changed

It wasn’t just a point.
It was proof.
That I belonged.
That I could contribute.

My teammates cheered.
My heart exploded.
And for once, I didn’t feel like a shadow.

Confidence Isn’t Loud

It’s not showboating.
It’s knowing.

That you can take the shot.
That you can bounce back from failure.
That you’re worth passing to.

I Carried That Confidence Off the Field

Spoke louder in class.
Walked taller.
Said “yes” to things I used to fear.

Even now, when life feels small,
I remember that version of me — sprinting, sweating, trying.

I see him again when I scroll 안전한카지노 for match schedules,
or place a small bet with a friend on 우리카지노.

Because confidence stays with you,
even when the jersey comes off.

Conclusion

Sports didn’t make me someone else.
They reminded me of who I always was —
brave, determined, and worthy of the space I take up.
