Well I'll be honest: I'm not a very good basketball player; I'd like to be it. But I used to play basketball at High School in my free time with some friends. I played also football, but Basketball is indeed more special for me. In Basketball I can jump and move my hands and that makes me feel good, it's a special sensation.
I haven't practiced enough to be better, because I hadn't been challenged and I didn't take it so serious. But today I went to a park to throw the ball a couple of times, and a guy asked me to play with him and I accepted. I thought it was going to be funny, and it was. But I lost the game 12 to 3! I felt so frustrated!
But in that situation, I knew that I had a new challenge, a very good one. Now, if I want to improve my skills in basketball and play better, I have to continue practicing and playing with people. I shouldn't stop here. I think I'll be playing twice a week, because it is an opportunity of growing and enjoying.
I hope to make a progress and write a new comment!
I love basketball too! I used to play in teams when I was (ahem) younger. I wasn't very good either actually but I do love playing it.
ReplyDeleteIn previous semesters, depending on the time of day, availability and willingness of the group, we've had some basketball games after English class at the courts near Medicine. I know that some of your classmates are quite good. :)
How about it? Who's in?
