A beginner mistake I am weirdly glad I made in Madrid

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where pickup stopped feeling new.

I started this because my weekend felt a little stuck, and pickup seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Basketball feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.
