an analogy..

let me choose basketball and football for this analogy

basketball:

just imagine.. u came to a new court.. alone.. u have no idea how they play.. they asked u to join them.. u agreed..
the game begins.. u as a point/shooting guard.. felt a bit weird not handling the ball..dont know where to run.. they dont know when to pass.. and so on..but u decided to play shooting guard on that day.. u communicate with the point guard n thing more or less sorted itself..

football:
now imagine.. a new pitch.. totally different style of play..u r a winger.. n they play like chelsea.. how awkward can that be?? but again.. u adjusted.. playing more like a forward.. kind of funny playing football without crossing it..

the common factor for both situation is that u can adjust. why? coz u know the games very well..

now imagine.. the 'adjusting skill is not there'
u constantly out of position.. ur passes r all wrong..
u r not as effective as u know u r capable of..
n feeling u r more of a liability than an asset..
most frustrating is ur team mates threw their hands up in frustration..
unpleasent

here's a catch: u cannot leave the pitch/court/team..
what would u do??
