(2022·天津河东·二模)Winners are made, not born
No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts. I learned this ___1___ from an experience many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley, Georgia.
It was a tradition for the school’s old team to play against the ___2___ team at the end of the spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn’t even practice to ___3___ the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment(失望), we were defeated.
Thinking hard about it, I came to realize that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, ___4___ they were depending on me. I had to change my attitude(态度) towards their ___5___ and potential(潜力).
I started doing ___6___ I could to help them build a little pride. Most importantly, I began to treat them like winners. That summer, when ___7___ teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football.
Six months after suffering our defeat at the spring practice, we won our first game and our second, and continued to ___8___. Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a victory for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn’t what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest excitements of my life!
From the experience I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can affect(影响) the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as ___9___, I pushed and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves ____10____, and they built themselves into winners.
