I went to all the 37and showed up even when it was so 38that your ‘breath froze’ andwhen the otherplayers had decided to stay home. I felt I had 39enough and thought of quitting.

I finally decided to 40the news to mymom that I was leaving the team.Mymommay have looked like atiny and quiet lady but on 41my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise 42,so think about yourself in a 43way and see yourself as a winner!”So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape, 44my shot（投球） accuracy and changing my 45.

once in a match, we 46our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt.I was sitting at my 47place,at the end of the bench,when the coach came over and told me I was going 48. I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.

The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little 49.But my mom’s words 50out in my head like a church bell.Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my 51work waspaying off.I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the 52to score.The crowd went quiet. All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had 53me for this moment.
