back home in the evening. He got interested and decided to join the competition with his group of friends. After they decided to join the tournament, they learn more skills and strategy by observing some professional players through television. After observing, Joe and his teammates went to practice the skills that they’ve learnt. They did not managed to claim the gold medal, his teammates blamed him for the cause of losing the game because of his physical size is small and weak.

From there, he was very disappointed because his individual contribution and effort cannot be identified. Joe’s brother comfort Joe and tell him not to give up. He have faith in Joe that he can accomplish anything just like everyone else. He decided to guide through intensive training.
