📖 今天要学习的句子
But my return to baseball was not smooth. When the season rolled around, I was the only junior to be cut from the varsity baseball team. I was sent down to play with the sophomores on junior varsity. I had been playing since age four, and for someone who had spent so much time and effort on the sport, getting cut was humiliating. I vividly remember the day it happened. I sat in my car and cried as I flipped through the radio, desperately searching for a song that would make me feel better.

After a year of self-doubt, I managed to make the varsity team as a senior, but I rarely made it on the field. In total, I played eleven innings of high school varsity baseball, barely more than a single game.

Despite my lackluster high school career, I still believed I could become a great player. And I knew that if things were going to improve, I was the one responsible for making it happen. The turning point came two years after my injury, when I began college at Denison University. It was a new beginning, and it was the place where I would discover the surprising power of small habits for the first time.
但是，我重返棒球场并不顺利。当赛季来临时，我是唯一一名被从校队中淘汰的三年级生。我被调到与二年级生一起在初级校队打球。我从四岁起就开始打球，对于一个在这项运动上付出了那么多时间和努力的人来说，被淘汰是很丢脸的。我清楚地记得那一天发生的事。我坐在车里哭泣，一边翻着收音机，拼命地寻找一首能让我感觉好一点的歌。

经过一年的自我怀疑，我成功地成为了高年级的校队成员，但我很少能上场。总共，我只打了十一局高中校队棒球，几乎不到一场比赛的时间。

尽管我的高中生涯平淡无奇，我依然相信自己能够成为一名伟大的球员。我知道，如果情况要有所改善，我就是那个负责让这一切发生的人。转折点发生在我受伤两年后，当时我开始在丹尼森大学上学。这是一段新的开始，它是我第一次发现小习惯惊人力量的地方。
