There have been many times where I have been guilty of Hubrus. The worst one was on my middle school baseball team, our grade went undefeated in basketball and soccer. Baseball was the last season and all we had on our minds was one word, perfect. Throughout the whole season we were very over confident and when it came to the championship, we were undefeated. When the other team showed up to play, we did not. We thought we were greatest, as we finally woke up in the last two innings. We came back, however in the last inning we were one out from perfect but we let up two runs and lost the lead. In our last at bats we failed to score, we realized that any team can beat even the best on everyday. This is what we should have been thinking on the day of that championship game.
