Since the age of 12 I have playing basketball it all started at my elementary school playground. I had never played the game before but when I started to shoot the ball it had just gave me a lot of passion. It started to be always on my mind and took most of my time. I had started to come home and watch youtube videos on famous players and players that I wanted to model my game after. Then I had loved it so much that I asked my mom to put me on a team and that's what happened. I joined a team called KDS and we traveled everywhere just played tournaments and that got me to making the decision of I want to play this in my future. But I wanted to play this all the time and my school didn't have a team, so I convinced my P.E teacher to start a fifth grade team and we would join the Columbia Public School league, and that's where the journey begin. …show more content…

But I'm now going into my sophomore year just trying to be the best to play the game and lead my team to a great
It just seems like it would be natural for me to begin playing organized basketball at an early age, but I did not other than the rough and tumble playground ball at recess. I began to yearn to play on a real team, and soon I would have my chance. It was the summer before the sixth grade, and I managed to talk my father into purchasing me a basketball and my mother into purchasing the rim. We put the rim up onto the shed and I began practicing.

basket ball, Then in second grade I started soccer and played for 3 years, then I started karate and I'm a orange belt and 2 stripes, then Now not only do I play instruments but I also play sports. When I was in first grade I played basket ball and then a new sport got introduced to our school. Its called speed stacking. You get a stack of 12 special designed cups with wholes on the bottom so they don't stick together. You can stack them in a bunch of ways like the cycle, 9 cycle, 3 cycle, 3-3, 3-3-3, 3-6-3, 1-10-1, 6-6, 3-3-3-3, and one where you lay out 12 cups and move forward with your hands while picking up the cups. There are many more ways you can stack them. It is an amazing sport, and on the cycle (The most difficult technique) I got
Everybody's path is different. Every player comes with different genetics, a different mindset, and vastly different circumstances. This is what makes basketball so special. The fact that there is no path, no set of rules or procedures to become a good basketball player. This is why we need to look at basketball differently. Basketball is not a profession. It's an art form.
You are sitting at home watching a tense basketball game on television. Thousands of people are screaming at the top of their lungs as a player from your home team dribbles up the court. There are only four seconds left, and the home team is down by two. The guard dishes to the center, breaking across the middle. He takes the pass, spins once, and puts up a shot. A defender appears to be draped all over him as the ball hangs in the air forever. The horn sounds, drowning out the referee's whistle. Everyone rises to their feet, their eyes following the trajectory of the spinning ball. A deafening roar explodes as the ball settles into the net. Yes! You instantly see the official has blown his whistle, and you know the player will have a chance
My entire life, I have lived and breathed basketball. When I was only three days old, I was being passed around in the stands of a basketball game while my parents coached my older sister. In first grade, I was begging my parents to let me play. I couldn’t, however, because in my town kids don’t start playing basketball until the third grade. They let me join an Upward basketball league that was near my area, but Upward wasn’t competitive enough for me. So the next year, I went a couple towns over to join their city league so I could play. From then on, basketball was my passion.
I have been playing basketball ever since I can remember. My family has always been very athletic. My siblings played basketball as well as my parents. My grandma told me a story about how I used to shoot a little basketball into a 10 foot hoop and I would make it. I play in the point guard position. I work very hard at what I do so that makes me advance in my skill for the sport. When I really started to realize I had a passion for it was in 6th grade. We had a lot of new people therefore our team didn't blend great. But even with my team being the way it was I still put everything that I had into it. Two things at the end of the season happened to me that made me realized that if I worked at it I could do great things. One parent on the
Play sports to stay healthy. Even though people believe there are other ways to stay healthy, playing sports is the easiest way to keep healthy. Average test scores of non athletes were not as high as athletes, so playing sports is helpful. Play sports to keep grades up, be intelligent and stay healthy.
During the summer time right after school got out Sara M. would come and sleepover at each others house lot. She basically lived with me for the Month of June and July. We would usually stay at my house because I lived on pewaukee lake so there would be a lot more things to do. We would go swimming, jump out the windows, poked a hole in my brother, crashed a birthday party, road the electric scooters in the house but my mom didn't know and went shopping with my mom for funiture. All different stuff but the best one of all is us trying to put together the basketball hoop inside the house.
Basketball isn’t the only thing that our school is good at. Recently our Journalism class had the chance to interview our school’s Dance Team. This special group of girls including, Veronica Mass, Julia Neal, Caitlyn Roque, Alyssa Guzman, and Jasmine Gonzales also won national competitions. They can often be seen performing at half time of our school’s basketball games. We are truly special to be able to have two national champs on the court in one night. Being this successful is not easy though. When asked how long they have been dancing, most of them said since they were two or three years old. They all continued dancing and eventually became part of our school’s extremely gifted dance team. If you think ball is life, you haven’t met the
If I would have had positive ways to release my energy through playing sports I could have avoided people with ulterior motives. I would not have felt the urge to receive an adrenaline rush doing negative acts. This could have put one around positive friends. Playing sports could have helped build my self-esteem and confidence. This could have made me become closer with my family, before long, I would have valued my family over my friends. Playing sports also could have also helped me deal with others opinion of me. Ultimately, playing sports would have put one in an improved position when dealing with negative feelings or
It was late December with snow sprinkling down from the clouds covering the roads. George was at morning practice for basketball prepping for the game he had the next night.
The most enjoyable environment that I like being is on the basketball court. Basketball and everything surrounding basketball means the most to me. The feeling I get when I play is unexplainable, and I wouldn’t take the feeling back for the world. Everything about basketball excites me long practices, nice equipment, the roaring crowd, and above all scoring. The background and the development of basketball is mind-blowing and is much appreciated. There are other choices and great environments that I like to be in but the basketball court ranks above all of them.
Damian Lillard once said, "Whenever I'm on the court, I feel like I'm making a statement and a case that I belong." That quote says a lot about the feeling on the court; however, what I see and hear is what gets me those feelings, and what I feel gives me the drive for success. The more and more I drive towards success in the game of basketball the more people I meet and the more motivation and inspiring I get from those people.
When I was eight years old I was all about basketball. I would dribble in the house and my Mom would usually yell something like “Go outside” or something like that. I would go and play outside, and anywhere I could. I just loved basketball. I was never on a team though. The most competitive I ever got was playing at recess. One year I realized that one of my best friend’s parents were starting a basketball team. I went to my parents and said “ Can I please go and play on that team?” They said it was fine. We were a pretty good team and I ended up playing with them until about 6th grade when my injury happened.
