It’s the fourth quarter. Ten seconds are left on the clock—she steps forward, ball in hand. The score is tied, and the stakes are high. It’s the championship game… all roads have led to this moment.
She begins to dribble the ball down the court. Sweat streams from her face to the floor. Her hands synchronize with her feet as she moves forward. Five opposing team members are set on stopping her path to victory. They will not give up the championship lightly. Determined, they move into position to block her advance.
Fortunately, our hero is not alone. Her four teammates fly down the court and take their positions, and she sees her opening. The pass is launched, caught, and volleyed to the next player. She races downcourt, and the ball is passed back to her… she is in a perfect position… the ball leaves her hand… it arches up and over the opponent’s head… and then…

Now, imagine for a second that our hero had been in a different situation.
She moved downcourt to make her dreams a reality, and something unusual happened. As she positions herself closer to the basket, she realizes that her teammates have decided to take a break.
